I haven't seen anything commercialy made. Any of the tires you do see up on top is always bolted to a safari rack.

If you were good with a welder and had a little imagination it would be fairly easy to make up a bracket.

You will be raising the center of gravity and increasing the aerodynamic drag… this equates to getting less fuel mileage when the truck rolls over…

Have a good one while you can still laugh about it.. Don S.
