Hey Bart! The Tie Down Side-Mount Spare Tire Mount #TD68FR can be used with a 3" tall trailer tongue. It actually comes with two different U-bolts so it will work with a 4" or a shorter 3" like yours. What kind of trailer do you have?

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
Spare tire mounts are essential for safely securing your spare tire to your vehicle or trailer. Whether you're hitting the road in a motorhome, towing a trailer, or cruising in a classic car, a reliable mount keeps your spare tire accessible and out of the way. Consider the mount's compatibility with your vehicle, ease of installation, and durability.
Most spare tire mounts are designed for straightforward installation, often requiring basic tools. Many enthusiasts find they can mount it in just a few minutes. Some mounts may need slight modifications or additional hardware, like spacers or extenders, depending on your vehicle's setup.
Spare tire mounts are versatile and can fit a range of vehicles, from classic cars to RVs and trailers. It's important to check the mount's specifications and your vehicle's frame or hitch compatibility. Some mounts offer adjustable features to accommodate different setups.
Look for mounts with sturdy construction and clean welds. A well-made mount will withstand vibrations and harsh conditions. Some users recommend adding wood blocks or additional supports to minimize wobble and enhance stability over time.
While many mounts fit right out of the box, some situations may require minor modifications. This could include adding spacers, using different bolts, or even welding for a custom fit. These tweaks can ensure the mount fits snugly and securely.
A spare tire mount keeps your spare tire secure and accessible, freeing up space inside your vehicle or trailer. It prevents the tire from moving around during travel, which is crucial for safety and convenience, especially on long trips or when carrying large loads.
