tire under truck

I mounted mine under the truck. I went to pick & pull and got a cable crank thing off a 99 ford ranger. I have a rear roll pan with a flip down tag with a hided hitch and i drill a hole just above that for the crank rod to let the tire down.

Thanks for that reply. I also put a hitch on but my springs are on top of the axle, So my receiver is is just below the roll pan back a little. I have a straight bracket i was going to modify. But i like your idea, never thought of a flip down plate. Thanks again Bob

BTW, Did you make your own flip down plate bracket. Or buy a spring loaded one some where?
