Will Aftermarket Hitch Fit with 35" Spare Tire on a 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
Question:
Hi, does a 35” spare tire still fit with this hitch? Judging by the center bumper bracket placement in the crosstube it looks like the tube site 1-2” forward of the frontmost point of the factory hitch and by my measurements would still allow a 35 to fit. Have you or any of your customers tried it? Thanks so much.

The instructions call for the complete removal and relocation of a 20" spare tire so if your spare tire is a 35" then I have my doubts about it fitting. The only way a spare tire will fit with the Draw-Tite Hitch # DT45509 is if it's no larger than 18". None of our other trailer hitches will be able to fit with anything larger than 18" either.
