Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Carrying a Tire Horizontally on a Trailer.
Question:
Im looking for a bolt on mount that I can bolt on the tongue of my trailer that I can mount the tire horizonal so it has too bolt on the top of 2x3 or 31/2 so it needs to lay on top of the tubing which is 2inch wide not on the side of the tubing

We do not carry any spare tire mounts that were designed to mount the tire horizontally, but we have a few mounts that you could make work. For example, you could use the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier, # CE27310G, and use a 2 inch block to take up the additional width in the u-bolts. This would give the u-bolts a snug fit around the width and height of the frame and allow you to mount the tire horizontally. You could also use a carrier like the Fulton F2 Heavy-Duty Spare Tire Carrier, # F581900, and weld it to the frame horizontally. I recommend building additional supports since your frame is only 2 inches wide and a few extra pieces of steel welded to the frame will not hurt anything.
Keep in mind, these carriers were not designed or tested to carry tires in this manner, but I think it would work for your application.
