Question:
What is the difference between item c31006 and item e98ZR? They look almost identical.
asked by: Jesus L
Expert Reply:
Hey Jesus! The # e98ZR comes with an alignment collar and a hitch pin. The Curt # C31006 does not include these and costs a little more. Outside of that, they are the exact same spare mount with different branding.
What rig are you setting this up on?

I purchased this item last year to add a second spare tire to my Jayco 5th wheel. Stands to reason if I hit debris on the road it could easily damage both tires. This product is extremely high quality and easy to install.

I plan on putting a spare tire on the rear of our 2021 Keystone Cougar that has a receiver hitch rated for up to 300 lbs. This would get the spare out of the pick-up bed when I carry a second spare for extra long trips.
