Review on 🚗 Dorman 924-528 Spare Tire Hoist Assembly: Ultimate Space-Saving Solution for Hassle-Free Tire Storage by Michael Freemason

Product says for Ford Heavy Duty. I have a 2002 and according to the product information it should fit. However, some modifications need to be made. The original has a thread. replacement not. The original screws do not fit, they are too big. The original has 2 screws and on the other corners of the spare tire jacks they slide under the brackets preventing them from moving. These holders prevent the holes from aligning for a new one. I had to lift another one to fix it. I also had to drill holes in the new ones to mount the screws. I suppose you could use smaller screws instead. Another problem is that the crank insert is slightly higher than the original. I was able to get it to work, but you'll need to tweak the lifting tool a bit to make it slide in. All in all it seems to help. However, this is not an exact replacement. The quality isn't over the top either. I think I'll see how it holds up in the long run. Attached is a photo of the original.
