Fulton Hi-Mount, Bolt-On Spare Tire Carrier

The Fulton Hi-Mount Bolt-On Spare Tire Carrier (STC1000101) is a heavy-duty mounting solution designed to relocate your vehicle's spare tire to a higher, more accessible position on the rear structure. Built for trucks, off-road vehicles, and expedition rigs, this bolt-on carrier elevates spare tire storage above ground obstacles and reduces the footprint impact on rear loading capacity, making it a practical choice for overlanding, off-road recovery operations, and vehicles that encounter rough terrain regularly.

The hi-mount configuration provides clearance advantages over standard bumper-mounted carriers, allowing the tire to sit higher on your vehicle frame where it won't interfere with recovery equipment, tow hitches, or underbody terrain interaction. The bolt-on design means secure, permanent installation without requiring welding or extensive fabrication—simply bolt it to existing mounting points on your frame or body. At 6.55 lbs, the carrier itself remains lightweight while delivering solid structural rigidity for full-size spare tires. This mounting system is engineered for durability in demanding conditions where corrosion resistance and reliable fastening under vibration and impact loads are non-negotiable.

Operators who regularly traverse rocky terrain, river crossings, or remote routes depend on hi-mount spare tire carriers to keep their backup wheel accessible and protected from undercarriage damage. Off-road enthusiasts, expedition vehicle builders, and fleet operators managing utility trucks all benefit from the elevated placement and straightforward installation of Fulton's design. The 5-year limited warranty provides confidence in long-term reliability. This carrier is ideal for anyone looking to upgrade from a standard bumper-mounted spare while maintaining a practical, bolt-on installation process.
