Hey Steve! I am going to give you a couple of options, because I don't know how far back your hitch pin hole is from the edge of your spare tire. The closest part of the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack item # RKY10002 is 7", from the hitch pin hole, when folded up.
What you'll need to do is measure from your Bronco's hitch pin hole to the edge of your spare tire and subtract 6". This will give you a margin for movement of the bike rack so it's not bouncing off your spare. Whatever number you get is going to be how long of an extension you need.
Please note that any extension is going to reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. I have listed some options below:
7" item # HE06
8" Long item # RKY10011
7" or 9" Extension item # TH55JV

Hey Steve, how did things turn out once you measured the distance from your Bronco’s hitch pin hole to the spare tire? Your results could really help others trying to fit the BackStage rack with larger tires.
