Universal Tire Carrier DIY Build Kit

The Universal Tire Carrier Kit is a build-it-yourself-kit.

Please note this does NOT come fully assembled/welded. 

This is NOT a complete Kit. You will need to purchase some off-the-shelf material to complete the build. See "Required Parts" tab. 

All the steel, materials, and tools needed to fabricated this hitch swingout are very easy to come by. The novice fabricator can put this together and have a well design and functional unit that cost over a thousand dollars if it were manufacture.

Get the DIY-WELD-Kit and save time from having to do all the manual hand cut work.

The process of designing and building this tire carrier is a series on Youtube. For more details and a breakdown of the Tire Carrier click here

Vehicle Fitment:

When I designed this hitch tire carrier one of my main goals was to make it universal as possible. Especially to help serve applications where there isn’t an off the shelf tire carrier option.

However, your vehicle MUST meet these requirements:

1. Have a 2″ tow hitch installed
2. Able to access the back part of the tow hitch (if not, notch out until you can slide tube through)
3. Have at least 10.25″ of vertical clearance measuring from the inside bottom of the factory tow hitch and up. if not then the aux hitch will need to be welded in line with the anti-wobble witch will give you extra clearance making it only ~7.25″ of vertical clearance needed.
4. Factory hitch pin hole must be less than 4 inches from the edge of your rear bumper.
5. 35″ max tire/wheel (recommended)
6. Wheel lug pattern: 6×5.5, 5×4.5, 5×5.5, 8×6.5, 8x170mm (if you don’t see yours listed please contact me and I can make you custom pattern to fit your wheel pattern).
