Spare Tire Carrier

This is what I plan on making here soon. I will be mounting a 35" tire on it and maybe a hi-lift jack behind it. What do you guys think? Comments and suggestions VERY welcomed!!!

I found several kits that will make up the wheel mount, latch and spindle. I am gonna try and brace the left side under the bumper cover to the main bumper support so when I open it fully it won't sag so much.

I snagged the picture off of ebay, didn't have a pic of mine from behind.

I like the idea as well. But, opening the rear becomes that much more work. Three doors is bad enough. Decisions.....

I want to make a pivoting or tilt down tire carrier ie you could lower the tire down to the ground and unbolt it on the ground.. and same with reloading it..i may mount a small boat winch to lift it..plus that way my wife could change the tire if needed.. because she isn't gonna be able to lift a 285/75/ 16 spare out of the back of the truck and or take one off a spare carrier either.. something to think about..I could do it, obivously... but if your spouse drives the truck ..thats something to think about..even picking up the flat tire and rim and putting it into the back of the truck would be a huge struggle for a small woman..so I hope my idea works.. I will post pictures when I do it..probably this summer though. I plan on one board air system too so a impact would be available too..should be sweet
thanks,
Deo
