Inside Bed Mounted Spare

Anyone have a bed mounted spare kit? My truck need some type of spare hold-down, along with a spare. I'm not a fan of the factory under bed spare. Seems like I'm always laying in snow or water to access it, and I've had one break (chain type)

Thanks!

I took one out of the bed of my old '78 and put it in my '93. I agree, under the bed is pitiful in the salt belt!

I'm going to get that kit from LMC. I may modify it with a reinforcement metal strip like the factory Ford unit has. I'm planning to install 255/85R16 tires, aprox 50 pounds each, along with a 40 lbs wheel. That bracket is probably 10 pounds. So yeah, I could see that small plate on the LMC kit rip out in an impact
