Expert Reply:
According to Curt, when installing trailer hitch # 13920 on a 1992 Chevy S-10 with the factory roll pan bumper you only have to relocate the spare tire if the truck is a short bed model (6 foot bed). I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. This is the only hitch for models with the roll pan bumper.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use # HM41115 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
