About 6-10 months ago someone made one from scratch [EDIT- 2019 LOL]. It was posted in the "What Have You Done Lately" forum, IIRC.

He got several compliments.

Maybe start there?

Tom R there are at least 3 different lowerable spare tire carriers that bolt to the Airlift Bumpers. The RICO Rhino uses a ratchetting dual-threaded LH and RH rod to lower the wheel assy; the two generations of Ibistek uses a hand crank geared cable/strap winch to lower the wheel assy, 1st Gen is welded square tubing the 2nd Gen is welded laser cut steel plate construction.

I will draw up a sketch and give you dimensions and links for the hinge and screw jack.
Maybe post that as a sticky?

I think this and the Luverne Home made stuff is pretty awesome.

Mods, maybe a "Home Made Items" sticky for those things that are highly sought after and can also be fabricated?
