There are a few more items you could add but this will get it done ;)

This kit includes:
- 2" x 6" Receiver Hitch Tube ( p/n R2108)
- Spare Tire Spindle (p/n STIRES)
- Swing Out Tire Carrier Latch (p/n R2125
- Spare Tire Mounting Plate ( p/n STMP-LG)

This is a great starter kit we offer for building your rear swing out bumper.You will save a few dollars by purchasing this kit instead of purchasing them separately.

I am looking for the spindle and latch separately and I assume the spindle is greasable. Do you have them individually?

I do sell everything separately, follow the link below.

The spindles are a dual tapered roller bearing assembly, with a lock nut to pre-load, and cotter pin to lock it in place. You grease the spindle bearings when installing, but there is not a zerk fitting to grease down the road. There is a top and bottom seal as well as a dust cap, and you shouldn't need to grease it regularly.

Do you have any pictures of the DIY bumper kit installed? I made a back bumper but have not found a spindle yet. How easy is the spindle to fab into the bumper? I want to do a spare tire swing mount. No spare on it right now and I want to also add the receiver.

mini73-

I will see if I can find some installed pics for you, they are pretty easy to incorporate into an existing bumper most of the time. the round stock is 1.5" OD solid bar, that is what you would be welding to your existing bumper. Then the part that actually spins is 2-1/4" OD DOM that you can easily weld square or round tube to that would actually support the tire itself.
