Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman spare tire hoist support is built to replace the original tube retainer used to hold the spare tire hoist access tube in place. When the factory bracket rusts away, the access tube can become loose or unsecured, making spare tire access difficult. Dorman 47831 provides the correct mounting style and zinc-coated finish for service on many 1999-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra applications, along with Cadillac Escalade and other GM platform vehicles.
