Hey Gary, so the difference between the two Blue Ox part numbers you mentioned is the Honda CR-V year range they fit. The part # BX2238 fits 2005 to 2006 models and the part # BX2232 fits 2002 to 2004.
While technically the same generation there were quite a few exterior changes made in 2005 to the CR-V which is why they new part number had to be came up with. Believe me, if Blue Ox could have gotten away without having to redesign the CR-V fit they would have as it costs them a lot of money.
