Can Fulton Spare Tire Carrier # FSTC1000301 Be Mounted On Trailer Tongue Box
Question:
Would I be able to mount this on the side of my Craftsmen tongue box? The box is aluminum diamond plate. It is not very thick metal. Maybe 2- 6-8inch steel angle brackets bolted on the inside to add extra support?

Expert Reply:
The Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, part # FSTC1000301, is designed to be mounted on the trailer tongue up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high. The weight of the tire would cause a lot of stress on the tool box material you mentioned, and I would not recommend altering the installation for this carrier.
This carrier Works with 4 on 4 bolt pattern and 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch diameter or larger wheels, but does not work with 5 on 4-3/4 bolt pattern, 5 on 5 bolt pattern or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
I have attached links to a product review video and an installation video for this spare tire carrier.
