2005 5.9 Ram build.
I was able to use the bed crane to "recover" the spare tire into the bed by my self.
The effort did reveal some flaws in my crane design but I think I can modify or work around most of them.
I used the hand winch in a double back lift and the load was almost nothing. I was quite surprised at how easy it lifted as this tire and wheel combo probability weighs 350 lbs+
All in all I'm happy with the crane and would do it again. (With a little more awareness as to how it functions.)
