Swing out tire rack - Aluminess? others?
This looks to be a good solution for those spare 35+" tires. Anyone try them? Yeah, very expensive but they seem to have some other worthwhile add-ons also.
Aluminess site here.
Here's a pic of a dodge w/ the swing out tire rack:

Any other swing out tire racks out there?
Thanks!

I've seen the tire gates. Nice but I still want my tailgate. I just checked the road armor site and couldn't find a swing out tire rack. Have a link? thanks.
Personally, I think I would hate having a tire sticking out like that, hanging onto the rear of the truck. I know on 2nd Gens that anything up to a 315/75R16 will fit in the stock spare location, and the frame rails are supposed to be wider on the 3rd gen. You should have no issues tucking your 285/75R17 up there. That's just my $.02.

That's very nice, but it looks like it starts at $2495!

ptgarcia - I said it was expensive.
I was hoping there were other swing out options but I guess this is it. Too expensive for me. I'll have to stay away from 37s since I need my topper and tailgate and the space in my bed.
thanks guys.
