Default Re: Spare tire mount

The factory spare tire mount is heavy duty and is one unit with the tow hooks....so you can imagine how much weight it can carry. The liftgate is sheetmetal and in order for a stock tire to fit, it will block the entire rear window, not to mention that it will probably shake the rear liftgate off. Only vehicles with a side opening rear gate will have them mounted on the door. The 2005+ factory H2 mounts are well engineered and work really well. No shakes or rattles and it closes and opens easy.
