    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.

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