Default Tire rack ideas - open trailer

At the end of the Summer of last year I traded in my Tundra for a 1 ton GMC. I also picked up a Lance camper. I used to throw my extra set of wheels in the bed which I can't now so, I need some suggestions for a tire rack for my Featherlite. Any suggestions.....pic please.

I think Featherlite makes one...? I had tire racks on both of my Featherlite trailers.

Featherlite does indeed make a tire rack, I have one on my trailer and it just bolts on. Having said that though I think that the consensus is that the Trailerex tire rack is the one to get. Also a bolt on but not as tall (fetherlite one has the tires about 5' above the trailer deck) so it does not create as much wind resistance. Also the fetherlite bar (that goes through the center of the wheel) has only three mounting positions (heights) while the trailerex version slides up and down so it can handle a wider range of tire diameters.

Great looking car ;-)
This rack was custom made at a local race shop by the previous owner of the trailer

I like that PJ.....the sotrage would come in handy also! I'll also check with Trailex as well.

The car is running strong. I never did put plates on it.....strictly a track car and a dang good one at that. I replaced a leaking dr side radiator yesterday and have some underside front bumper damage from an off to fix but otherwise she's as good as the day she left you!

I have the featherlite rack on mine. It holds 6 wheels stock, but has been modified to hold 8.
