HitchGate Spare Tire Carrier

[Hurlz07Tahoe]

Anyone invest in the HitchGate spare tire carrier?

My 305/55/20s won't fit in the stock spare tire holder under the rear of the Tahoe.

If you've got this or have seen this on an 07+ tahoe please post pics.

Thanks!

Your better off getting on built on your own unless you can find one for cheaper those things are $$$$

Yep that is the problem (Cost). Plus they swing out pretty far so you'd need a lot of room to open the lift gate.

What about anyone with a roof mount system???

Roof mount looks dumb, and to be honest your truck looks nice without it. I wanted one of those on my old z71 tahoe and just always found myself finding better mods to spend 600+ dollars on and thats considering I didn't even like how far away the hitch gate stuck out from the truck. With the way our bumpers stick out pretty far already its gonna look even worse.

pretty sure you back up sensors would either be going crazy all the time or you would have to turn them off

I can't imagine an NNBS with ones of those. Would fit an NBS though. I say just make sure you Roadside Assistance for tire issues.

I think roof mounted tires look pretty good but you need a beefy rack to go with it. The only problem is it a major ***** to get the tire on the roof.

I'm not a fan, the regular spare tire would be fine for temporary use if that's what your worried about.

I would just not get one and put my money into something else for the tahoe. The odds are that if you do get a flat, your going to get it fixed right away anyway and riding on the spare wont hurt for to long. Also idk how I would feel about having someting on my roof that adds atleast anthoer foot and a half of height to remember about when going in parking garages or stuff like that. You tahoe looks so good just like that.

I dug up some pictures of a NNBS with one. Looks AWESOME

Yea your car looks cleaner without the huge tire in the back. Also, off topic, do you think your airaid throttle body spacer actually works? Did you try your intake before and after the TBS? btw I love the color your truck!!!

 

[AquinoSteven]

It was on tire gates site under customer rides. I think it will be perfect on your truck danny. Just need a nice rack to set it off
