Ala,
Click on the below pic to see the spare tire set up I use on my 50. Hit the next button at upper right to see more pics.

I assume the channel that is attached to your frame runs lengthwise down the center? Yes it is a swing down. After you unloosen the J bolt the tire and it's mounting bracket drops to the ground (careful, heavy) You then pull the assy out from under the bed by sliding it along the channel that is attached to frame.
