Video Transcript for All About the Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Mount
Hey everybody Clayton here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Brophy stake pocket spare tire carrier. Now today, we're using it on a gooseneck trailer. So it is going to be pretty wide but this is typically going to be used on a utility trailer. Something a little bit smaller. Now this is going to be an awesome way to get another spare tire or even just a spare tire with our trailer.
Now you can find the according spare tire for your trailer here at etrailer. Today, we are using our spare tire carrier with a six lug wheel, but this is also going to work with five log and eight lug wheels. So that's going to cover a wide variety of different size wheels out there on the market. Now, the way this works is this bolt here on the left is able to slide in and out to work with those different sized lug patterns. Something that I like about this kit is it is going to include all the hardware we need to get our spare mounted.
Our spare tire carrier is going to work with your standard stake pocket for a two by four. Again, this is going to be very common depending on what trailer you have. So you just want to check your stake pockets and make sure that those are going to work with a two-by-four. Removing your spares going to be pretty easy. Just want to grab a 21 millimeter socket and loosen these up.
Now you don't have to over-tighten these. You just want to make sure that they're not going to shake and wiggle on you when you're going down the road. And as I was saying this nut here on the left side is actually slotted. So it's going to be able to slide back and forth. It's just secured with this washer.
So you're not going to have to worry about this coming out. As you can see, it's nice and secure but it is going to work depending on what tire size you have. Will this working with your standard stake pocket chances are going to be able to flip flop this back and forth between trailers. So that's really nice as well. Our spare tire carrier is going to be constructed out of a durable metal. So you're not going to have to worry about that. And it also has a really nice black powder coat finish to help resist that rust and corrosion which is going to keep it looking great while it's going down the road. So you might be asking yourself how is our spare tire carrier going to be supported in our stake pocket As you can see it's not going to wiggle or shake anything like that. And that's because we have a metal plate with a bolt on the bottom. So this threads right into the bottom of our spare tire carrier using a nut plate inside the spare tire carrier that's going to give us a really secure connection. This can be removed just using a 19 millimeter socket. got that removed our spare tire carrier simply lifts out of the stake pocket. Taking a closer look at our carrier. I just want to get you guys a couple of recommendations or measurements here just for your different trailers. Now from here to here is about three inches. So you want to make sure that your stake pocket is at least three inches deep. Now ours is about four, so that's perfect. That's going to be here to just before where our bracket is now. Now, if your stake pocket is pretty deep, you might need to pick up a different bolt from your local hardware store. Now looking at some of our reviews from our customers they we're saying that this actually rattles and shakes a little bit in the stake pocket. I think that's just due to the fact of their stake pocket not being totally flat at the bottom, which if that is the case, you can use a washer or a spacer between the bottom here and your actual bracket that goes on the bottom to keep that nice and secure. Now, if you do want to grind some of that material off and make it flat, you most definitely could do that. All in all this is a really great product. I like how versatile it is. Like I said, you could bounce this back and forth between different trailers or maybe you get a new trailer. This is going to work just fine for you. That's pretty much going to do it for our look at the Brophy stake pocket spare tire carrier..

Mounts seem well built and solid, had to grind some off each side to fit in my stake pockets. I am sure this was not an issue of manufacturing as dimensions were spot on. It had more to do with the trailer pockets being slightly inward and not squared up. Had one minor issue with threaded holes as I had to run a tap in it to clean out paint so I could get bolt threaded in. Was not a deal breaker unless you didn't have the resources to clean out hole.

I think the product's going to work well. The only problem is is that to tighten the bolt and the plate underneath that secures it to the stake pocket needs to be a little thinner if the stake pocket is not mounted to the trailer directly at the bottom of a frame if it's mounted up near the middle or top of a frame. The plate that secures it is too wide and can't be used. So when I called brophy they said there's nothing they can do so obviously send it back. I'm thinking about having a new plate. Different width securing plates narrower so that the bolt will fit up into and secure the plate to the bottom of the stale. I think brophy needs to make different widths of plates depending on where the stake pockets are welded onto the frame

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.

I opened the box, set the mount on the concrete slab next to me, and it chopped off a small piece of the black powder coating immediately. I didn’t drop it onto the concrete or slam it down, just set it down. Also, the locking washer was almost impossible to slip over the threads by finger, so I had to employ a needle nose pliers which caused it to eventually snap and become useless.
Not a good start.

Was 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.

This set up did not work for our trailer. The stake/down section is too long. That means it would not tighten up in the slot.
We attempted to drill and run bolts through to modify it. That did not work either.
While a nice idea, sadly this did not work for us.

The mount is a splendid idea don’t use it on aluminum. I installed on trailer drove less then 100 miles and it broke the stake pocket off the trailer thank god it was over railroad tracks and was at slow speed and no one was behind me. Will give two stars because I don’t believe it would do it on a steel trailer. The tire is just to top heavy for an aluminum stake pocket.

Dry fit the spare this morning and will get it onto the trailer this afternoon. Should be a great no weld and no drill option for mounting a spare.

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.

The length of the stake is a little long, so it does wobble. I will fix that later. Other than that, it does the job.
Thanks!

Bought my Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier one year ago to the date and have not had any issues with it. I had concerns about the nuts backing out over time, but we have not had that happen! If you're looking for a trustworthy spare tire carrier, this is the one for you!

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!

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!

Nice 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.

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.

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.

Spare tire carrier for the stake pockets fits as designed. Simple streamlined design makes installation quick and easy. Trailer has deeper stake pockets than the average pocket so longer bolts were needed for install. Otherwise a solid design.

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for a Deck Over Trailer Hey Mark. I don't have a spare tire mount that's going to fit a 9" I-Beam but I've got a couple of other options I wanted to share with you. If your trailer has stake pockets one of these spare tire mounts would be what I recommend using. The Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Mount item # 3375201012 fits stake pockets that are the standard 3-1/2" and 3-3/4" size. The Brophy item # SPTC is designed for 2" x 4" stake pockets. Both of these tire carriers fit all wheel sizes and lug...
view full answer... - Using a Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier on an Aluminum TrailerHi Ben, that’s a great question, and you’re right to think about it ahead of time because aluminum trailers can flex more than steel, especially when you hang weight off the side like a spare tire. The Brophy part # SPTC will work on an aluminum trailer, but theres a few things to keep in mind. One thing to consider is how strong that stake pocket area is. If it’s well supported and tied into the frame, you’ll likely be in good shape. If they are not, some customers will add triangular...

They're almost exclusively bolt on so it is really hard to keep the spare tire mount secure if someone is willing to cut the bolts. The only thing I can think of that would be really secure is to add a Stake Pocket # HW03-080 and then weld in a stake pocket mount spare tire carrier like # SPTC. Depending on the frame and tire carrier you could probably just weld one straight onto the trailer if you want. However,...

This will include the Wheel # MX59FR you are looking at with a Tire # LHCK401 already mounted. The reason you see so many different weights is so they work in multiple applications.

I went out to the warehouse and verified that inserts into the stake pockets measures 3-1/2" x 1-9/16".

Instead it uses round holes for stake pockets so it may work to instead use the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4-, 5-, and 6-Lug Wheels # FHDSTC0101 which gives you a round post if you cut the bracket off that is 1-15/16 inches diameter.

The height to the center of the carrier is only 13-3/4" so you will run into clearance issues if you don't have the tire hanging off of the side.

Still holding up and working perfectly. Still havent repurposed the poket part yet though, but Im sure I will some day.
