Spare tire mounted today

Have no idea what happened to my first post on this so I'll try it again. I got my spare tire mounted today after looking at several options that just would not work, underneath...too low and in front of my tongue box it crowded the jack and looked funny with the tapered box and then ballooning back out to a 27" dia. tire, so I mounted it on top of the tongue box with a swing up and out custom built bracket. The box basically holds the weight of the tire, and the square tube mount holds it in place and the tire in an upright position. The tire side walls ride on the box with no metal parts touching and is quite easy and light to fold forward for box access, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I'm very pleased with the whole thing.
