Tire was placed into location with 0 air in it
That way I could force it into place, above the hitch and cross brace between the I-beams of the E450 frame.
Then I placed the two pieces of aluminum “strut” material (ez to cut and work with) above the E450 beams and aligned at the current holes (no drilling needed).
Finally, after strut material is secured & tire is properly located, I inflated the tire to about 20 pounds. That was enough to secure it tightly into place, does not move.
To remove (we all hope it never happens)...
I’ll deflate the tire completely, remove the 4 nut & bolts that hold the strut material, remove strut material, then drop the tire after moving it into place.
