The difference between HitchMate TruckSteps, parts # HE4045 and # HE4037 is that the latter is the XL version which has a larger step pad and extends 2 more inches than the standard version.

The # HE4045 measures 9-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches and the # HE4037 measures 11-1/4 by 8-1/2 inches.

Answer 6

If you measure from the center of your hitch pin hole down 4-1/2 inches that will be where the top of the bar would be. So if your spare is less than 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin down this would fit around it easily.
