Most aftermarket Rear Bumpers require oversized spare tires to be relocated upward to avoid contact with the bumper. Our oversized tire mount achieves just that and includes the ability to add an optional third brake light .
This is a great, economical product to mount lighter-weight 33x15x12.50 Goodyear Duratrac on MB Wheel spare tire and it's made in the USA. Folks at Hyline Offroad are quick to respond to answering questions and even provided detailed drawing dimensions when I was concerned about clearances. Powder-coat is top-notch and mounts easily. You have to install the tire studs yourself before mounting the bracket by laying the spare tire-wheel on the bracket and tightening up the lug nuts to pull the studs up into place. I'd prefer these to have been pressed in already since one of mine didn't go in quite as straight as I'd have liked. However, it does work. Also, I think I'll try adding some spacers to the stock spare tire rubber pads so they're again pressed up against the spare tire to keep it from shaking when closing the tail gate. Overall, excellent, simple product with a price that can't be beat as long as your spare tire-wheel isn't too heavy.
Looks great, easy to install and the LED 3rd brake light is a nice touch!
Is it durable and what is it made out of steel or plastic?
