The only problem that I can forsee with the "swing down" carrier is lifting the heavy tire up and down every time you want to access the tailgate. ![Thumb Down! :thumbdown:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/thumbdown.gif)
Dunno if you have a cage, but what about a swing up? you could use some hydraulic rams like on minivans and such to hold it up

kinda like the spare tire being the back hatch of a minivan??
