Question:

Looking for a class 3 hitch for my 1994 k1500 that will allow a full size spare tire and wheel to fit under the bed. The hitch currently in the truck will not allow the spare tire to be winched up properly. Tire size is 265/75R16.

Expert Reply:

According to Curt, their # C13042 Class III hitch you'd looked at will allow a stock size spare tire on a 15 or 16 inch wheel to stow under the vehicle once the hitch is installed. To ease installation, it's recommended that the spare tire be removed or lowered for easier access to the frame rails.

To install a 4 pole trailer connector, use part # 118315 or use # 20023 for a 7-way.
