Does Westin Diamondstep Bumper # 63000-93800 Have Opening For Spare Tire Access on 2003 Dodge Dakota

Question:

Will this replacement bumper allow me access to lower the spare tire ?? Does it have a cut out opening for this purpose ??

The Westin Perfect Match Series Bumper, part # 31012, will have a hole for access to the spare tire. The Perfect Match bumpers are exactly like the OEM bumper on the vehicle.

The Westin Diamondstep Series Bumper, part # 63000-93800, that you have referenced, is a universal fit bumper and will not have the access hole to lower the spare tire.

It will not fit the Dodge Dakota Quad Cab (4 Door) model. The Westin Diamond step bumpers, which are the more universal ones, will not fit the Quad Cab because they come with separate brackets to mount the bumper that are not compatible with the Quad Cab.
