Hang em High. Instalation time about 30 minutes with the help of my son 1 hour 30 minutes. He doesn't need to read instructions. He so smart. Well any way there is a bolt that bolts to the receiver note bolt to. It wouldn't fit so son decided to hammer it in. Guess what round peg square hold. Then son discovered it screws in and he has screw it up. After re thread bolt works great. Lesson don't let 52 year old son install with out reading instructions. This weekend I will mount the tire.
Only problem with the carrier is that I installed it on my Ram Promaster 3500 Van. You will need a 12”extension to push the carrier out so the back door will open.

Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount with 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches
Spare tire carrier is 5 star. The issue I have with the design is that it lowers the tow hitch by 2”. This drops the tow point for my toad to the minimum acceptable height and causes it to drag on the pavement often when leaving elevated parking lots. It would be great for Roadmaster to offer a design that would raise the tow point 2” to give purchasers the option to raise rather than lower the tow point. Tow bar manufacturer does not allow more than one connector between the tow bar and the motorhome, so device to raise the tow point is not an option.
I've used the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for the last year (2023) and have put over 7500 miles on it. The carrier has performed seamlessly and is still manageable when mounted 40 plus inches off the ground. I have it attached to a Torklift 5' extension that goes into a 3" receiver welded into my flatbed. To prevent bouncing I've had Torklift put in a support bracket from the lower(regular) receiver. No bounce!
