Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Trailer with Angle Iron Frame
Updated 06/27/2017 | Published 06/26/2017
Question:
My 6x10 tilt bed trailer only has a 3x2inch angle iron tow hitch. Tires are ST 205-75R15. I want to mount the spare on the tow bar but it appears that I need a square tow bar. Please confirm or suggest a spare tire mount. Thanks,

The Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock # FETCSTL0701 would work just fine on a section of angle iron that is 3 inches by 2 inches. The frame does not have to completely fill out the U-bolt to allow the carrier to install.
I attached a picture that shows this carrier installed on an angle-iron frame trailer like yours as well. Also an install video of the same trailer.
