The Fulton Spare Tire Carrier, part # FETCSTL0701, has an inside measurement of 3-1/8 inches at the narrowest point of the U-bolt. It is designed for 3-inch channel trailer frames.

If used on a 2-inch trailer frame, the spare tire could move on the frame from the extra play between the U-bolt and the trailer frame, even after the spare tire is tightened down. I would not recommend to use this Fulton spare tire carrier on a 2-inch frame.

I am sending you a link to a product page that will show three choices of spare tire carriers that will fit on a 2-inch trailer frame.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
