Today, we're taking a look at the Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier. This unit allows you to mount your spare tire up and out of the way. The base of the carrier simply inserts into a standard two by four stake pocket on your trailer. Mounting hardware is included, so you place this into the stake pocket on your trailer.Then, you secure it in place by taking the mounting plate, take a bolt through the mounting plate, and then you thread it into the nut that's welded onto the base right here. Then, what you do is you just tighten that up until the mount plate is secure to the bottom of the stake pocket on your trailer. Installation is very quick, very easy, very simple.Then, right here, we have the actual plate where we're going to mount the spare tire and wheel assembly.
This is designed to fit wheels with a five on four and a half inch, five on five inch, six on five and a half inch, and eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. You would take this bolt right here, place it through this back slot, push on the keeper. That's going to keep that bolt in place.Then, what you do is this has a little bit of room to accommodate different bolt patterns on the wheel. Find configuration that works best for you, place that on. Then, you fit your wheel over these studs and place on the lug nuts until the wheel is secured to the mounting plate right here.
Now, the mounting plate itself, that's a nice large design. Edge to edge, going this direction, it's about six inches. Going this direction, measures about seven and a half inches.It's made from a durable steel construction, features a nice black powder coated finish on it to resist rust and corrosion. Product's made in the USA and, again, this is designed to mount your spare tire up and out of the way. It fits into a standard two by four stake pocket on your trailer.
That's all there is to it. That's going to do it for today's look at the Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier.

Mount your spare tire up and out of the way with this stake pocket tire carrier. Base of carrier inserts into a standard 2x4 stake pocket on your trailer. Works with 5-, 6-, and 8-lug wheels.Well, this is a very well made product. After reading all the reviews and watching the videos I purchased it to use facing in on my 102" trailer. It didn't fit with my spare due to the tire size. I'm sure I've voided the warranty, but I cut it partially apart and welded some angle iron to it to mount my spare flat on the deck. Long story short, it worked well for me with some modification. Just use caution if you need it to mount inward on your trailer.
Superbeast - 06/29/2020Was a bit disappointed with how this item fit into my stake pocket. I either have to modify the length to make it shorter so the bolt will keep the tire holder tight or just weld it in place in the stake pocket. Have not decided which way I am going to go. Probably just weld it in place.
Heather A - 05/27/2021Nice heavy product. Very easy to install in stake pocket. The only thing of concern is the potential of movement from side to side, and maybe front to back. Would be great if it included some form of wedge style tightening to pocket area.

These inserts did not fit the pockets as tightly as I would have expected but, with some minor modifications, they worked out just fine and fit fine with no wobble or slop in the mounting.
I'm giving this 3 stars but beware of your trailer construction. This carrier caused enough vibration to break the welds on my stake pocket causing it to fail. The tire carrier broke off on a bridge in Manhattan. Lost the tire and all, lucky didn't kill someone or cost me my life savings from being sued!
Like others have pointed out, it needs a shim to fit tightly and not rattle or work loose. Other than that it’s well made and solid.
Nice option for carrying my spare that I hadn't seen until looking on etrailer.com. Easy to take on and off as needed and seems sturdy enough to last for a long time. Fast shipping too!
What I was looking for. However it's a little wobbly in the pocket after mounting. The bottom brace won't tighten down enough. Probably will get a little weld.
Great, well built , and easy to install ! Works perfectly!
I received the package yesterday evening, I opened the box but have not looked at it closely or installed it on trailer yet. But It arrived earlier then expected which was great. I received the adjustable drop hitch and 2 inch ball On Monday that also was recieved early. It was in very good condition, easy to assemble and Adjust, Heavy product. I would recommend E-trailer to everyone as they have great customer service and products!
Sturdy, good welds & good fit!
Seems like a nice, sturdy spare tire carrier. It comes with extra lug nuts to mount the spare tire - which is a plus in my book. It appears powder coated so it should provide plenty of years of service without showing any rust or wear.
Had issue with delivery on my end. Etrailer service took care of issue right away and delivery was made. They were friendly and efficient. Couldn't ask for better service. MIKE
This stake pocked spare carrier is very well built, and feels stable in the install. The only issue I'm having is that the bottom plate is forcing the carrier to lean outward somewhat once it's tightened down. I'll have to take a file to the hole on the bottom plate to allow for a bit of adjustment, as an elliptical hole would allow for some variance when you're putting everything together. Also, it would be nice if the fixed bolt on the plate had a pre-drilled hole so you could add a lock.
It is built reasonably well. I planned to mount it on the side of my trailer, but it is too long. It puts the tire out quite a bit further than the fender so I can't use it. I went a different route for mounting my spare.
Very easy to install. Initially I was concerned that it would stick out too far but was satisfied after I mounted the tire on it. It sticks out about an inch farther than trailer wheels. Good quality.
Great heavy duty tire rack! Prompt service and delivery! Thanks!
This carrier is as advertised, it is well built, and will do exactly what it is made for. My only concern is that it is loose in the stake pocket so I will have to engineer something to make it more rigid.. If I don't it will wind up cracking or damaging the pocket.
Overall the product has performed. It did require rework and welding additional support to hold it in place tightly. Before doing the alteration, it would not tighten up and was very wobbly. After the change I made its rick solid
Used on my 16 foot trailer. Attaches with a bolt so quick removal for security not an issues. Good heavy quality. Works perfectly for my needs. Quick shipping.
