Will Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-1 Work on a 2018 A-liner LXE
Question:
We have a 2018 A-liner LXE and recently bent the spare tire bracket I attached a photo. Ours looks very similar to the TR-1 but you say its for 15 inch wheels ...we have 14 inch wheels. Also I dont see detailed instructions about how to attach the wheel. Our existing bracket had a black piece that went in front of the wheel itself, near the lugs. Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
You are correct that the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-1 is for 15" and 16" wheels. What you may have on your trailer is the Folding, Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-2 which is compatible with most 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels. This carrier is compatible with 4" square and 4-1/4" square bumpers.
To install the wheel on this carrier you will simply take the lug nuts and the plate off, put the bolts through the bolt holes on your spare, and the use a lug nut to secure the top bolt and the plate and lug nut to secure the bottom bolt. I have attached an installation video that you can use as a reference.
