Mounted the BAL Hide-a-spare, item #28217B, after a modification.
Looked for the 28218, the deeper one, for trailers with enclosed underbellies. The only ones I could find, companies wanted an extra $100-$150 for shipping.
The reason for the deeper unit, I wanted to mount our Rhino 28 gallon wagon on it.
Had to make an extension, to get the needed depth for the Tote.
This one is the view from passenger side.

View's with driver side stabilizer in retracted position. The hideaspare sits approximately 4" lower than the stabilizer. It is my opinion, this will have more than enough ground clearance.

Had to move the driver side rear stabilizer farther to the rear, as to not hit the spare tire. Was able to reuse the existing rear holes for this. Win!
Passenger side rear stabilizer however, not sure what to do just yet for that. No matter where I've put it, how I've angled it, it's in the way. It doesn't allow the hide-a-spare, with the tote on it, to extend. I'm thinking about not mounting this stabilizer to the trailer, just put it in place, extend it when we set-up. Any ideas for this?
Other concerns you see?
The adapter\extension plates have been removed, I'm going to paint them black to blend in better.
I pulled on both the front and back of the tote, it's sandwiched between the bottom of the trailer and the carrier pretty good, also tried to twist it out, it's not happening, it's also tight between the bumper and a crossmember. Even so, I'm debating on making some kind of L-bracket, in place of the bungees. Thought's?
I just looked at the post, how do I get the pictures to show up, instead of the links?
