I've been looking for pretty much EXACTLY that kind of a setup. Is it available commercially? If so, who makes it and what is there website URL?
Thanks!!

rockstomper has one, but i made this hinge myself, a 1000lbs trailer spindle, 2.5" .250 wall DOM, and some 2" .120 wall HREW inside it. works great for this application.
i built the bumper at the top, i don;t have a website yet, but im working on getting one up.

I have about 5" of lift (off-topic, but whatever...).
Front is Tuff Country 4" EZ-rides + extended shackles and a shim. The bottom edge at the back of the wheel opening has been trimmed back an inch, but it still looks stock from the side.
Rear is homemade shackle flip + 3/4" "zero-rate", i.e. extra overload springs in the pack cut off shorter. Rear springs are stock. There is 5.5 or 6 degrees of shim.
The tires in that picture are ProComp M/T 35x12.5x15, which were about 34" tall with 11" wide tread. Now I'm running tires that are 35" tall with about 10" wide tread.

Here's a shot with the tire mounted. We revised the carrier latch since the last photos. The tire has also moved down about 2" and moved in closer to the tailgate with a slight slope so that the tire is within 4" of the tailgate, which is pretty close considering that the carrier is 2" tube.
