1000 lb. Tire Carrier Hinge kit
Custom made - Durable -
Universal - Low Cost
If you want to build your own tire carrier then this hinge is a must. there are many options out there, but none compare to this. It is machined in our shop from heavy wall DOM. Features a 1000 pound rated spindle, dual tapered roller bearings, oil seal, dust cap, castle nut with cotter pin.
Also includes a zerk fitting for grease to ensure a long trouble free life. This will make your job much easier and first rate quality.
Nobody except us provides this sleeve. They expect you to weld the spindle directly into the bumper. Doing it this way makes it easier to misalign your carrier and once it is welded your stuck. That way also weakens the spindle right at the welded point. Add a good sized tire and and a little rattle and your asking for failure. Just hope it doesn't happen on the freeway.
Using a sleeve allows you to align the carrier and hinge using a roll pin. That same roll pin makes it possible to remove the entire carrier and hinge assembly for re-installation later if you ever need to. You weld the sleeve to your bumper not the spindle. Don't compromise strength by welding on the pivot point where all the weight is exerted.
