:pimp:

flatbed , encolsed or gooseneck? do you have a tongue box?
on the tongue works good if yo udont have abox to go there. if a gooseneck, mount up in the neck, or under the neck(under makes removing/installing kinda PITA for a larger tire)
i personally have my trailer spare in my goosenecks neck, and a spare in the back of my pickup, and the factory spare under my pickup. all 3 tires are the same size/rim, and can be interchanged if i have multiple tire problems on a long trip.

i wish this was the case for my dodge... i CAN use the dodge spare on the trailer with no issues, bot not the trailer spare on the dodge.

like stated before more info is needed. i store my trailer spare in the Neck of the goose. it is just sitting there, but i strap it down for any drive over 8 miles. i keep it covered as well.

i would bolt yours down for now, if you dont find any problems with where you have it weld it up if you like.

Just a basic 10K 18' car hauler.
I think back by the fender too keep the tongue clear is the ticketwaytogo

Mine is identical to Jethro's. Built from a few pieces of scrap, finished in about 20 minutes, and then rattle canned. :D

Ok, I moved it to the NCOR gallery, same place as yours. Should work now. :)

YAAAA I see it now..thanks KJ
I think that is the spot for me too.
