Expert Reply:
There should be no problem using the spacers that came packaged with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24912.
The spacers are designed to keep the bolt from slipping through the frame rail when installing. The shape of the spacer may have changed a little but the function remains the same. If the carriage bolt is secure when pulled through the hole in the spacer and then through the frame rail you have nothing to worry about.
