Stake Pocket Spare Tire Mount for 2x4 Stake Pockets - Secure 150 lb

In this review the Stake Pocket Spare Tire Mount is examined as a practical, compact spare carrier for trailers with 2x4' stake pockets. The bottom line: it is for trailer owners who need a low-profile, slide-in spare mount that holds up to 150 lb and covers common bolt patterns; the single biggest reason to buy is its simple slide-in installation and sturdy powder-coated steel construction that keeps a spare tire secure without a large bulky bracket. Measure your stake pocket first to ensure a snug fit because fit is the most frequent point of user feedback.

Key Features

• Stake pocket fit: Designed specifically to slide into a standard 2x4' stake pocket with a bottom plate of 3.4' x 1.4' and a pocket depth over 2.44' so it fits low-profile pockets used on many trailers.
• Bolt pattern compatibility: Accepts a wide range of lug configurations, including 4-lug 4' and multiple 5-, 6- and 8-lug diameters, so it works with most common trailer wheel patterns.
• Load capacity: Built with precision steel and a powder-coated finish rated to support up to 150 lb, providing corrosion resistance and reliable load endurance for a full-size spare wheel.
• Upgraded retention: The 3-nut design improves locking security, reduces vibration and road noise, and helps prevent nuts from loosening during travel.
• Tool installation: Slide-in design installs or removes with a single wrench, and the package includes sufficient mounting hardware to avoid sourcing extra parts.

Who It's For

The mount is best for owners of utility, landscape or car hauler trailers that already have 2x4' stake pockets and need an unobtrusive spare carrier that stays tucked against the trailer frame. It suits users who prefer a steel mount with a powder-coated finish and who will measure their pocket before purchase to ensure compatibility.

It is less suitable for those with nonstandard or oversized stake pockets, trailers requiring larger capacity carriers above 150 lb, or users who need a swing-away or frame-mounted carrier rather than a slide-in stake pocket style.

Pros & Cons
