Looks really great. Could you remove the winch handle and use an extension or drill to lower the tire so you wouldn't have to remove the cans?
Did those dies come from Bonny or custom made?I sure like em, nice work.
Looks really good Don. Did you get the sag out that had happened with the weight of the spare? I know you had mentioned it, and now the holes to shave weight. Or is it going to be a fact of life with the swing gate, and it will be secure and straight on its base in the closed position.
Those dimple dies look really good as well as helping stiffen that up. I too would be curious where you got them.

Could you remove the winch handle and use an extension or drill to lower the tire so you wouldn't have to remove the cans?Good thought. I just made an adapter for my friends trailer tongue jack that he uses with the battery powered impact wrench he carries. Works great and saves alot of cranking. It is removable if he for some reason doesn't have the wrench and can use the original handle.
i was thinking you would most certainly want to be able to change a tire with speed. not safe to be out there exposed for any length of time giving someone time to do not nice thing. a extension rod that couples on to extend past the rack like a ratchet extension that can accept either a hand crank or slam a cordless drill on it with be best of both worlds. have a little tall thin sleeve with a cap on the side of the rack to house the extension pieces to eliminate the search for them would be best i think
The total package of the back of your truck looks awesome Don‼️
DOT chatter eh??? And I agree with the extension and portable impact for the winch... We did the same setup on a manual crank gooseneck trailer. Use a portable 1/2" impact. Works very well. 8)
Just to throw one more option out there, eliminating the "handle in the way" scenario, why not get a tire iron or extra trailer scissor jack bar like this< http://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Redline/BAL-24033.html and weld a lug nut to the center of the crank? not sure how difficult it would be given the weight of the spare assembly and reducing leverage, but it would potentially be a faster way down at least.

So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

You don't have the "remove before flight" tag on the implement pin!
