Tire Carriers
Does anyone make a rear tire carrier that lowers the tire down to the ground via a spool and cable? Years back I saw one for a JK but don't know if it ever hit production. At 66 lifting 37s is impossible with my back.
Thanks
Thanks

Here is an old article for a bumper from HD Customs in Colorado. They are no longer in business though.

It's been a long while, but from what I recall, someone else supposedly copied the bumper. So maybe a similar product is available somewhere? It was called the HD Switchblade, there may still be some youtube vids showing it in action, it was pretty slick.

This was kind of the oint with those spare tire racks that guys used to put on theur TJ/LJ builds with 38"+ meats. They're a giant PITA if you have to load stuff in the bed area though. I'd get what you're describing as well. In fact, I wonder why I carry a spare in the first place, as I can't lift it back up onto the carrrier by myself. Since I have OBA and carry a couple plug kits I've thought of ditching the spare and rear bu,per to save about 250 lbs at least.
