made this tire carrier out of 2in square tubing and some 1/4in L brackets a scaffolding jack i grabbed off a jobsite and a few nuts and bolts and some homemade rubber bushings works pretty good for $10 and 2 hours time lol sprayed it with rustoleum bedliner and the rim too , it was my test dummy going to do the rest this weekend. let me know what ya think

 

Nice idea,.. Weld those U-bolt to the tubing.
Also, MAYBE a rubber type of bumper on the u-bolt side?

 

Just curious why didnt you just put it back under your truck lol

 

not gonna weld the u bolts cuz when i get bigger tires i need to be able to adjust it and it holds good the way it is, and as for putting it under the truck its bigger than factory and the crackhead i got it from put the exhaust right in the way of the f'n tire. im also gonna mount a high lift jack it. thanks for the input
