atozfabrication has all the materials needed for making a swing out.
or just search heavy duty spindle and you can put something together.


i like the design, very similar to mine.
but i think you might want to sand and re weld where the whole swing out part welds to the spindle. ( the part in the second pic ) i dont mean to criticize to much but it looks like you got some air pockets in your weld and i know that holding up a 35-40in tires puts a lot of stress on the welds.
