ABSTRACT:
A device for raising and lowering a pickup truck's spare tire characterized by an actuating lever pivotally attached to the truck's rear bumper, and a cable coupling the actuating lever to the truck's spare tire cross strap. The cable is trained over a pair of pulleys so that when the actuating lever is pivoted away from the bumper the spare tire cross strap member pivots to the ground to permit the removal of the spare tire. When the actuating lever is pivoted towards the bumper, the cross strap member pivots back into a horizontal position to raise the spare tire back to its stored position. A locking mechanism is provided so that the actuating lever can be locked to the bumper.
