Frame Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer Frame That is 5 Inches Tall

Question:

CE27310G tire mount. My trailer frame is 5 inch x 1-3/4. Your diagram indicates 4-1/2. Looks like this mount will not fit my trailer. Please confirm Thanks

We do have a spare tire carrier for your 5 inch x 1-3/4 inch trailer frame, though you are correct that the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G would not work for you as it is designed for trailers with a frame up to 4 inches tall.

Instead I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 which will fit trailers frames that are up to 5 inches tall and up to 3 inches wide so it is perfect for your trailer.

The Fulton carrier has a zinc plating so it will resist corrosion, which is a big benefit for a spare tire carrier that is being used on a boat trailer. It is also easy to install with a clamp-on mount and has a 5-year warranty, which speaks to its durability.

I have added a link to a video review of the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 for you to check out.
