Today we're going to take a look at the Lippert Components Spare Tire Carrier with the winch and it says a 71 inch overall width. Now this Replacement Spare Tire Carrier will install on the underside of your trailer chassis, so it allows you to feel at ease with the spare tire aboard your trailer, but not having the spare tire take up any valuable space that's on top of the trailer.The Spare Tire Carrier features this winch to raise or lower your spare tire and hold the spare tire in the stowed position. It's a sturdy steel frame construction, and includes this winch extension here, which is turned by using a manual hand crank, which is not included. The extension length on this extension, or this winch extension is about 35 and a half inches. Now using a manual hand crank or a Scissors Jack handle or even a three quarter inch socket or wrench applied to the end of this winch extension will allow you to operate the winch. So if you turn this counter-clockwise, you can see it will lower your spare tire.
And if he turned the winch extension clockwise, you can see that it'll raise your spare tire.Now the Spare Tire Carrier does have a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds. The winch end bracket here that goes through the center hole of your wheel, this will hold a wheel with a pilot hole diameter of up to about five inches diameter.Now this is a bolt-on installation. The hardware is not included, but the instruction that you get with this will show you what type of hardware is needed for installation. And for safety reasons, Lippert does recommend curbside installation of the Tire Carrier, so this winch extension is accessible from the curb site.Overall length we mentioned from one end to the other, is 71 inches. The width on this for the rails here is 18 and a quarter inches, and the width outward, the mounting brackets are a little bit wider.
It's 21 and one eighth inches. But again, just to show you on the switch extension, when you put your handle on there, and if you turn it counterclockwise, you can see it lowers your winch. And again, if you turn it clockwise, it'll raise your spare tire up and hold it in place. But that should do it for the review on the Lippert Components Spare Tire Carrier with the winch.

Still in place. Checked all self tapping screws and they are secure. You should check the spare tire after the first couple of trips to tighten the cable as it does stretch from the weight. Good product.

That’s a solid setup, and nice work on the install. Using cribbing and C-clamps to get everything lined up is a great move, especially on something that size. Definitely makes it a lot easier to dial it in without fighting the weight. Glad to hear it gave you a clean way to carry a spare. What kind of RV are you running it on?
