ROOF TIRE MOUNT?
Hey guys. Well i searched and searched and suprisingly found very little on this subject.... How and what does everyone use to mount their spair tires to the roof? I just put 4door leaf springs/2"shackles and new shocks on my car and it gave it nice lift, however i think it'll look better if i get rid of the weight caused by the spair. I know a lot of the people mount the tire on the roof to distribute the weight between the front and rear suspension....
I have a Thule Roof rack, not basket or anything... could i build something that holds it in place? What have you guys done?
Does this disrupt the control of the vehicle....cause isnt that a lot of weith to put that high... bad CG?
How the hell do you get it on and off? LOL they weigh a lot!
Any info would be great guys.
Thanks
