Long Ball Mount to Clear the Spare Tire on a Jeep Liberty
Question:
In have a jeep liberty that I am trying to pull my boat with. the boat is a 2008 stratos 486 fish and ski. The way the trailer hooks up I cant because the spare tire gets in the way. do to the limited space and the angle i have to hook up cant just open the door. the length of the pin hole to the ege of the tire is about eleven inches. just not shure this one will work?

On the CURT Ball Mount, # D-26, it measures 12-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. It will clear the spare tire on your Jeep Liberty, but it still may be tight.
For a longer ball mount, go with # BH20. It measures 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. That will give you enough clearance and room to spare. I have included a link to a video review for you.
