Expert Reply:
The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13145, will fit your 2004 Dodge Dakota Club Cab with the spare tire underneath the truck. You will not need to remove the spare tire.
The only note on the installation instructions for the Curt hitch for your vehicle is that the exhaust hanger may need to be repositioned.
I am sending a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch.
