My Cougar is an XLite, but essentially the frame/spare tire rack is the same on the Cougar or the XLite. I installed the BAL carrier behind the rear axle, about 30". It is the only place where I didn't have anything else to interfere with the installation. If you crawl under your trailer, look at what's installed where and how the carrier would fit, you'll find a couple of "great places" to install it. I had to cut away (modify) the ends of the BAL carrier so it would fit around some of the spars on the framework of the trailer. I was very reluctant to start modifying the trailer, and the BAL carrier was easily "fixed" so it would slip around the spars without affecting either the structural integrity of the trailer or the carrier. You'll need to choose the BAL # 28218 which is the model for I beam trailers with the coroplast covering.
Here are a couple of pictures of my installation. Other members have also installed this carrier with excellent results, possibly they will post with additional pictures and their experiences.
Good Luck with your installation.
