http://www.dodgeconnection.com/catalog/item/2901766/6284881.htmOn the side of the bracket with the single hole, I have a bolt running up to the frame that is fixed and attached.
On the opposite end there are two holes. The oblong hole that is closer to the middle is on about a 45* bend on the bracket. I have the J bolt hooked into the frame and the thread runs down through the hole. I take the J bolt nut and start to screw it onto the J bolt. Only problem is that once it gets semi close to the bracket, the J bolt nut wont turn any longer because it contacts the sides of the spare tire bracket. It just won't thread on far enough to get tight.
I'm frustrated as hell and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I've never use hardware like that nut and I've never seen one installed, nor can I even find a picture of one installed. Does anyone have an idiots guide for how to properly cinch up the spare tire to the bottom of the bed? Thanks.
