• Diameter Of BOLT Toolbox Latch For Possible Compatibility With Ford F-150 Spare Tire Lock
• I cannot confirm a fit of the Replacement Lock Cylinder for BOLT Toolbox Latch - Codes to Ford Side-Cut Key # BL7025636 for your spare tire cover in the bumper of your 2016 Ford F-150. I can say that it is an excellent question and would take out the issues with other locks and the lost key issue since it codes to your ignition key. This cylinder fits standard 3/4 inch hole of toolboxes. This product does require the Retaining Nut for BOLT Tool Box Latch Lock Cylinder # BL4306752.

• What Trailer-Frame-Mount Spare Tire Carrier Can Accept 15-Inch Tires
• The Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120 is indeed designed for wheel sizes of 9- to 14-inches. It is not recommended for 15-inch tires due to the reduced ground clearance from mounting this large a tire on a typical-height trailer. We do offer the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, part # FSTC1000301, that fits trailer frames up to 3-inches wide and 4-inches high and works with 4-on-4 and 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt patterns. This tire carrier offers 5-1/2-inches of rise...

• Dimensions of the Mounting Holes for the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier
• Sure thing! The 2 holes at the top of the plate on the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 measure 4" apart on center.

• Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack to Clear Spare Tire Clearance on 2011 Toyota Rav4
• To determine the fit of a particular bike rack, you will need to determine how much clearance will be necessary, and then choose the rack that has a shank long enough to provide that clearance. When we installed the Curt Class III Hitch, # C13149 on a 2011 Rav4, we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward portion of the spare tire was 6 inches. The Kuat Beta # B202-2 has a hitch pin hole to rack upright measurement of 7-1/2 inches, so it will work great...

• Is Weight Carrying Ability of Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO Affected by Attaching it in Offset Position
• In addition to the two hex bolts you mention, the rack will also be secured by the larger diameter locking bolt that threads into the shank that is held to the spare tire mount by the spare tire. The connection will be strong enough to carry two bicycles as long as the 75 lb stated capacity of the rack is not exceeded. For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance...

• Long Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for Jeep Wrangler with Rear Spare Tire
• I recommend checking out the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # MD204 for your application as it measures 12-3/8" from the center of the back hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball (see attached). This doesn't come with a hitch pin so I recommend picking up the stainless steel etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98882 to secure your investment. If this doesn't work for you please let me know what distance you're needing to clear your spare tire and I'll see if we have something...

• Length of Shank on etrailer Cargo Carrier for Spare Tire Clearance of Jeep Cherokee
• From the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the 24x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier # e98874 when it is folded down is 19-1/2" so I'm pretty confident this will work in that orientation. You can measure from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the furthest edge of your spare and make sure that it's under 19-1/2" just to verify. When the carrier is folded up that reduces the clearance by 10" so from the center of the hitch pin hole to the carrier will be 9-1/2" and I...

• Jack for Tire Replacement on Lifted Jeep
• Our scissor jacks should not be used to lift a car to replace a spare tire as they were not designed for that application. Instead, depending on how far you need to lift, you may be able to use the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470, which can lift up to 4,000 lbs and a range between 8-5/8" and 18-3/8", or Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620471 which has a lift capacity of 6,000 lbs and a lift range between 11" and 21".

• How do you Determine the Size of a Spare Tire Cover for an RV?
• The size of the spare tire cover you need will depend on the overall diameter - or height - of the tire. For example, the Adco Spare Tire Cover # 290-1737 is for tires that have a diameter of 27". So if you measured your tire and it was 27 inches from top to bottom, this would fit. There are also covers such as the Classic Accessories Universal Fit Spare Tire Cover # 052963753875 which fit multiple sizes; this cover fits tires that are between 30" and 33".

• Nut Size Used on CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier # CE22011Z-11050-2
• Yes, the lug nuts that come with the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier # CE22011Z-11050-2 are 7/16 inch to match the u-bolt so you would have to have a different socket. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. Fulton carrier with lock # FETCSTL0701 is 1/2 inch so if you wanted to carry one socket you could use it instead of the CE Smith carrier. I have linked a video review of this carrier as well.

• Bike Rack for Travel Trailer to Clear Rear Spare
• I have a great bike rack solution for your travel trailer that will clear your rear spare but we do not recommend using a hitch extender with bike racks at the rear of travel trailers due to the very harsh ride quality at the rear of them. Instead we have the Swagman Trailhead part # S63381 which has 9-1/2 inches of clearance between the pin hole and the back of the racks upright mast which will easily clear your spare since you need at least 8 inches.

• Spare Tire Cover for 265/70/19 Tires
• The overall height of 265/70/19 tires is going to be 33.6 inches, which is the number we'll use to find your spare tire cover. The most popular option we carry is the Rampage Display Spare Tire Cover for Jeep # RA783535, which has a clear plastic window panel to display your wheel. You can check out an example of how it would look in the attached photo.
