Purpose-built spare tire tool

The Steelman 96093 is a hex head access rod designed to lower cradle-suspended spare tires on 1998-2001 full size Dodge trucks, including stake body models. It serves mechanics and owners who need a dedicated tool for this specific factory hoist system.

Build integration

The 30-inch carbon steel rod inserts directly into the hoist mechanism and rotates using a 7/8-inch socketed 1/2-inch drive ratchet, combination wrench or lug wrench. Its black powder coat resists rust and corrosion while a yellow coating on the hex drive end aids quick identification in a toolbox.

Sustained use behavior

The durable carbon steel construction withstands repeated torque cycles when lowering heavy spare tires over the vehicle's service life. The corrosion resistant finish maintains fit and function through exposure to road salt, moisture and under-carriage debris. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.
