The RAT CAGE is the real deal!
Not your next quick scheme to get your money in return for something that works half assed. Instead, this product was designed to handle rugged, off-road duties for a 4x4 Driving School called Leonard Motorsports located in upstate New York. At that school, they teach Police and Fire Departments (along with public clients) the basics of 4x4 operation involving response and vehicle capabilities. Driving Instructor and Stunt Driver, Kevin Leonard, designed the RAT CAGE for use in his lessons. Mr. Leonard’s vision has since landed a new revolution in the 4x4 industry. Now people with trucks, Jeeps and S.U.V.s can have the same tire carrier with all the added convenience and functionality that a 4x4 driving instructor would have in his rig.

Traction and drive-ability
The Rat Cage is a tool used for getting more traction. You will get better traction to the rear wheels due to the added weight. This is hard to believe, but it’s true. The relocation of the spare tire directly over the rear axle instead of being inline with the axle is what gives you the advantage. You will most likely experience less recoil on the rear suspension during highway driving. Results vary between ¼ ton and 1 ton suspension properties.

Mount a tire where no tire has gone before
Thinking about a lift kit? Then you’re going to need bigger tires… Don’t try to mount them under your truck because they won’t fit most of the time.
You need the RAT CAGE. It will mount the biggest tire they make for road legal vehicles. Now you can protect that expensive full sized spare tire, lock it in place, and keep it from harmful road salt and rubber deteriorating conditions. Not to mention you can get the girls looking your way when the RAT CAGE is on the job.

Now your expensive spare tire is safe from thieves

The Rat Cage is a first of its kind, bringing you the ability to lock your spare tire to the tire carrier, and then the carrier to your truck.
No other tire carrier can do that. With the available swivel bar, the lockable tire handle and the four feet of your Rat Cage, you can effectively have 6 locations for pad locks. In most cases that will be more locks than the vehicle will have that the Rat Cage is mounted in.

The first to have a removable spare tire carrier / mount
Need your truck to haul wood or an ATV? No problem. The Rat Cage is the first to bring you a removable tire carrier that is so simple and reliable that it's unbelievable. Every single cage is removable by simply pulling 4 pins and lifting the cage out. The heavy-duty feet stay behind in the truck bed to act as tie down points when the pins are reinserted.
Wow, that's cool.

You get what you pay for, and then some!
After you do some research and see some of the other tire carriers out there, and the price tags that come with them, you’ll see what we mean about being affordable. For all that the Rat Cage can do for you, the prices are very reasonable. Go ahead and check out the competitors. Some carriers you’ll need to buy a trailer hitch and then remove your tailgate, others you can’t remove it unless you unbolt it, and then there are the ones that only hold up to a 33” tire and are made in a foreign country…. Come on, you don’t want that. And the worst part is that they are over priced and non-functional.

The Rat Cage has been called the "Swiss Army Knife" of tire carriers. The Rat Cage is a better choice compared to other major brand spare tire carriers due to its design, quality and functionality!
