Question:

My trailer has 2” by 3” tubing do you make one to fit or will I have to weld it on?

I have a solution for you, but because the mounting holes on the Spare Tire Carrier for Roadmaster Tow Dollies # RM-2000-7 has mounting holes 3-1/2" x 3" center on center, the only way for you to use it on your trailer would be welding it on.

Instead, I recommend using a spare tire carrier that bolts on to the frame with U-Bolts so that you don't have to worry about drilling into the frame or welding. The Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 would be a good choice because it will hold tires with 4, 5 or 6 lug wheels that weigh up to 45-lbs and can be attached to trailer tongues up to 3" wide x 5" high, so it will work nicely on your 3" x 2" trailer frame.

I've attached a helpful video that shows a bit more about about this spare tire mount for you to have a look at.
