Does anyone know if there is a solution for the spare tire being in the way when putting a trailer on the hitch? I mean other than taking it off every time I tow. Is there any companies that make an extended reciever? If so, would it reduce towing capacity? Thanks

 

Not sure if I follow...I tow all the time and the tire doesn't get in the way. The tongue of the boat trailer is plenty long enough to fit in the space under the spare.

 

yea there are extended receiver hitches, check out an RV shop or a 5th wheel trailer shop theyl have them.

 

I got mine at texmood dot com.

 

goeagles88, i see your running 315's with the spare relocation bracket so I'm assuming thats why ya don't have the prob but I have my spare on the factory mount with 305/75/16's. thanks guys I'll look into the reciever extension.

 

emoody, where did ya find it on that site, I couldn't find it or what do they actually call it? Extended reciever hitch?

 

I got my extension at uhaul, it was $30.

 

He is in the process of re-doing the website. the part number is 44557 and its the same part number under several different brands Reese, Hidden Hitch, etc... Anyway, call 214-243-4209 between 8-5 Central time and tell him you talked to Eric on this forum and he'll take care of you with any towing products you need.
