Nice job. One suggestion. Get a small length of pipe, slightly smaller than the inside diameter of your wheels centre hole and weld it to the plate between the wheel studs. That way you can just throw the wheel up on the pipe and it will hold it while you rotate it and line up the studs. It’s a lot easier to get your spare up there!
I'm looking to do the same with my '95 Suburban...the inside spare really takes up a lot of room. I was surprised the tubing is 1/8 wall...I was planning on using 3/16 but may reconsider. Maybe its the camera angle, but it looks like the tire is blocking the tail light? Nice looking rig.
Thanks for the comments, the tire is moved over so that the edge is just on the tail light, the problem we ran into is the bumper they wanted me to weld it to was barely strong enough. They had to run some stiffeners back to the frame. I think 3/16 would be way too heavy. That’s a 35 inch tire that probably weighs around 100-ish pounds. I’d love to know what videos you’d like to see in the future. Thank you
@@4x4fabshop Hello, very good project, could you tell me the size of the pivot and where can I buy it? Will it be on Amazon? I am attentive to your answer.

That turned out great. Looks very heavy duty. I really like that locking mechanism when it swings all the way open.
Thank you.
Thanks for following the series and the good comments. The latch worked out good.
Very cool... Got my Ram and was just thinking about this kind of build!
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
It was a fun build
Really honest video with great explanations. Nice work. Thanks.
Thanks for the good comments.
You will eventually tire of opening the latch and lifting the pin, and fill in the hole for the pin at the latched position.
Thanks for the series,
Cool build and nice series!
Thanks for the good comments and following along.
I am planning on building one for my 2006 Tahoe
Thanks. It was a fun build, thanks for viewing.

Awesome page !
Thanks
Beautiful work. Question...do you have to unground the body ground cable from truck before welding...especially if bumper is attached to body
Thanks for the question. Yes you need to in ground it.

The axle spindle kit.. (shaft with bearings) where do you find that without a big wheel hub and just a pipe?
Here is the swing out spindle kit. amzn.to/3xyeihl
what about the obstructed passenger side tailight?
Thanks for the comment. The tire is just on the edge of the light, we put it where the customer wanted it.
Cool build. What did you do about the taillight coverup?
The tire was just to the side of the light. Thanks for viewing.
What year ram is your and what type bumper is that. I have a 2020 ram 1500 and i want to do something like that too. Awesome work.
Im not sure of the year. Thanks for the view and question.
You did not answer anything..
How many shop hrs to build nice 👍
Hi, i would estimate 30 hours.
Hola, muy buen proyecto, me podrías decir que medida tiene el pivote y dónde lo puedo comprar? Estará en Amazon? Estoy atento a tu respuesta.
Sorry but i cannot translate.

What thickness of rectangular tubing did you use for the base of the swingarm? Also did you use 2x3" or 2x4" rectangular tubing?
We used 2x3 & 2x2 1/8 wall. Thanks for the good comment, what other videos would you like to see?
Thanks for the reply! Happy Thanksgiving!!! Have you tested it on a trail yet with the swingarm? I'm curious how well it good up...
What latch is that?
Thanks for viewing and your question, it is in the description thank you.
@@4x4fabshop thank you. 👍
