Re: under bed spare wheel hardware

I would recommend that if you want to use that as a spare , I would go down to your local fastener store and get a longer bolt and weld it to a plate like the original is and use that set up. Also extend the bolt on the other end of the bracket.
Using a jack will make it difficult in retrieving the tire on the side of the road if you were to have a flat tire. Also i think with that much tension on the end of the tire bracket you could damage the recessed area where the nut seats.
