Could you take a picture of the mount itself? Is your spare tire carrier separate from the tailgate?

Trays on a rear 2" receiver hitch ruin your departure angle. It is amazing how much you can put in even a small trailer (mine's 40" x 50" at the base of the tub).

It carries my kayaks &/or bikes and I built a 2 ton winch into it (hidden behind the tongue box) to pull up an ATV. I also have plans for a DIY clam shell RTT for it. I just need to get to it.
