Extreme Max Pivoting Fold-Down Spare Tyre Carrier for 2" Hitch Receiver, Black — Anti-Rattle, Adjustable Lug Mount

Extreme Max's 5001.5831 is a pivoting, fold-down spare tire carrier that mounts to any standard 2" hitch receiver to keep a spare tire secure while allowing tailgate access without removal.

This heavy-duty carrier bolts into a 2" square receiver and is built to withstand road use while offering a convenient fold-down pivot so you can open your tailgate or access rear cargo without detaching the spare. Constructed with user-friendly features like an anti-rattle system and multiple lug plate slots, it’s designed to fit a wide range of spare tire bolt patterns and minimize vibration and noise on the road.

How does the pivoting fold-down design make tailgate access easier?

The carrier swings down and out of the way so you can open your tailgate or access a rear door without removing the spare tire assembly. The hinge mechanism keeps the tire attached to the vehicle while giving you full access to the cargo area.

• Pivots downward to clear tailgates and rear doors
• Stays mounted in the receiver — no tools needed to fold down
• Durable hinge built for frequent use and road vibrations

Will this carrier fit my spare tire and vehicle?

The mounting plate has three slots to accept most common lug patterns, so it adapts to many spare tire wheels. It installs into any standard 2" hitch receiver and ships with three M12 x 1.75 x 50 lug bolts and matching nuts needed to secure the spare; hitch pin for receiver attachment is not included.

• Compatible with standard 2" square hitch receivers
• Three adjustable mounting slots to match lug patterns
• Includes three M12 x 1.75 x 50 lug bolts and nuts for secure attachment

How does the anti-rattle system improve driving comfort?

An oversized ergonomic knob tightens the carrier upright to reduce movement and eliminate rattling noises that occur from road vibration. Keeping the spare snug improves ride comfort and prevents wear on the mount and hardware over time.

• Anti-rattle mechanism secures the carrier upright
• Ergonomic knob allows quick hand-tightening without tools
• Reduces noise, vibration, and potential damage from loose movement

What hardware and installation details should I know?

The carrier includes the lug bolts and nuts required to fasten the spare tire to the mounting plate; a hitch pin is required to secure the carrier into the receiver but is not supplied. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic vehicle accessories and common hand tools.

• Included: three M12 x 1.75 x 50 lug bolts and matching lug nuts
• Not included: hitch pin for receiver attachment
• Recommended: hand tools and torque wrench for proper lug tightening
