[QUOTE="Raptor 2014, post: 1365569, member: 12350"] Well - I had a similar dilemma on another truck that owned. I used a LARGE gate hinge welded to the bed. I dimpled the bed so the pivot of the hinge would allow the hinge to sit flush. (I could remove the the tire fold the hinge flat and actually use the be if needed). I also cut a slot in the hinge so when folded to 90 degrees a self made J-hook fit in the slot. The J-hook was welded to a tube attached to threaded bar stock. This fit though the center of the rim and a machined aluminum adaptor secured the tire with a spin on t-handle securing the entire assembly. It would have been much easier to show pics but I don't have any. LOL This was easily enough to hold a 100LBS tire. I'm sure more surface area would have been required to hold 2 tires stacked. It depends on how you use your truck.I never had a problem with the one tire mount and I was exceedingly hard on that truck. I broke the frame 3 separate times in different locations. F-250 [/QUOTE]
