I have a 51 3100 and a 53 side mount spare carrier. I have a dimpled fender. Trying to fit it up to my new bed and can see that the carrier has to go all the way up so the angled flange of the carrier meets the angled bedside. It would seem that I also have to mount it directly against the stake pocket also as it comes pretty close to a fender mounting hole. Also I understand the bottom two holes in the carrier take the reinforcement bar. Does that bar stay on the outside or the inside of the bed?
Is the carrier supposed to be as flush up against the stake pocket as I can get it? This would mount the left side of the carrier directly on the pocket flange? :confused:
