According to my contacts at Curt Manufacturing, Ranger models manufactured after the 1997 model year will not have any spare tire clearance issues. You might find that temporarily removing the spare during the install will allow more working room.

I do not currently have any photos of this particular hitch installed on a 2003 Ranger.
