Getting back to the sequence.
I thought it maybe easier to have the bracket bolted to the frame. I have a muffler hanger in the way so if you say it would be easier to bolt everything together then bolt to the frame. I do know the whole thing is heavy for me too. I had put it together with bracket bolted to the studs and tried lifting it up. When I did this I didn’t see or realize the hanger was hindering me nor did I realize the top bracket gets bolted to frame either. Sooo. Maybe someone has the answer🤔. I have the correct rims but without tires on them. My spare has a 50 yr tire on it to test fit. But not quite ready for spare to be placed.
