If you haven't got a swing out carrier fabbed yet then I would consider mounting them on the backside of the swing out. Locking the swing out would help deter theft also.  Ron

Excellent suggestion!

That's for a pair, Dano.

I haven't made up my mind but I'm leaning toward fabricating a custom mount and mounting them dead center on my spare tire .... if I can ever get a bumper with a rear swing out tire mount fabbed. My tires are pretty damn big so there would only be about 6" of Maxtrax above and below the spare.

MaxTrax makes a spare tire mount that straps around the spare. That and a cable lock is what I use.

There are very similar and much cheaper options available:

I have some of these mounted across the back of my flatbed between the jack brackets - but if I had a slide in and the space I would mount them under the cab over as someone else suggested.

I have the Maxsa, 32F and they flexed well, I have heard that some of the imitations will crack, so far so good on these. They seem softer and bend well.  I have used them a few times on rocks, dirt and sand.  So far so good.

Good to know.  The originals are very pricey!
