Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes you will have the room that you need on the Curt 2" Trailer Hitch part # E-3S to move those the 3/8" closer in that the 8.75" center to center measurement.
The one issue you may run into would be the powder coat. If you need to you can remove a little bit of the material with a drill or file to get that extra little bit of clearance you need.
