after blowing a bead in 5 feet of snow yesterday its time to get the spare from out from underneith the truck and build the swingout tire carrier that i had planed on doing from the beginning. im looking at all the different hinge style. i was thinking about using a one inch bolt in double shear with a heavy sleave and poly pushings. do you think the poly bushings would be strong enough to take the weight? i will have bumps between the arm and bumper when its closed to there will be little pressure on the bushings at "rest". tell me what u guys think.
