The mount post attaches to the lower section with an industry standard 5/8" hitch pin, allowing the mount post and mounted spare to be removed and reinstalled in seconds for easy tailgate or rear door access.
This Spare Tire Mount is proudly made in the USA with American steel and is compatible with any standard 2" receiver hitch. All Welded and Powder Coated for durability.
The included hitch pin attaches the mount post to the lower section. A second 5/8" hitch pin is required to attach the Spare Tire Mount to your vehicle and can be purchased at a discounted price as an optional add-on.
The included U-4045 Hitch Stabilizer can optionally be installed to eliminate wobble between the lower section and the mount post but prevents toolless removal and reinstallation of the mount post. A second Stabilizer to eliminate play between the lower section and the vehicle receiver hitch can be purchased at a discounted price as an optional add-on. Additional details on the Hornet Outdoors U-4045 Hitch Stabilizer can be found [here].
The included 3/8" fasteners will accommodate most wheels, but some wheels may require the separate purchase of longer bolts.

Note:
- The U-4800 mounts the wheel vertically with increased clearance from the mount post to accommodate wheels with deeper inset than the standard U-4100 Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount.
- The U-4800 is adjustable between 3", 6", and 9" of horizontal clearance between the vehicle's receiver hitch pin hole and the mount post. Please measure your vehicle to insure this is sufficient to clear the rear of the vehicle and consult the image with detailed dimensions if necessary.
- The maximum tire/wheel weight capacity of this mount is 75 lbs under normal highway travel. If traveling in off road rough terrain lower weight wheel/tire combination may be required.
- Many/most 3/4 and 1 Ton Pickup Trucks have a 2 1/2" Receiver hitch, (even though nearly all hitch products and tow hitches are 2"). If you need to convert your 2 1/2" Receiver to 2" you can purchase the adapter here.
- Available in either a Straight Lower Component or Curved Lower Component for added ground clearance. (Curved lower $20 additional). Select the Lower Component at Checkout.
