To me, the cheapest and BY FAR the best, is the throttle-cable-ziptie mod- virtually free

Other than that, level spacers from Fastnal (washers)- 20 bucks.

tail gate chains much cheaper that buying oem cables and i used plastic wire lume to wrap around chains so i didn't half to listen to them rattle every time i went over a bump.

and i had an extra bed mat so i cut it up to fill in the gap between my bed and bumper

99 chrysler town and country- the spare tire carrier was rusted and the tire wouldn't drop. I had to cut the plastic dealie bob that holds the tire to the cable. Chrysler $350 for the whole tire carrier and winch.

I modified it with a short piece of stainless 1.5"x1.5" angle that was 7" long and a cable clamp, painted it with black bedliner.
cable clamp - $0.95
angle - $5.95
black bedliner - laying around in the garage.

been holding the tire up since May.

For me the cheapest thing I've had to do was grind the center yokes so the bleeding thing would droop both axles on a hill climb without binding and snapping a shaft--which I did.

a cigarette box, and some grease...homemade gasket!

bed-mounted the spare tire. sits upright in the box, secured to the side. had all the pieces laying around.

on the flip side of things, this was the most expensive mod. 150 bucks for a summit diff girdle cover. removed the stock spare carrier too while i was under there.
