Will Replacement Kuat Safety Pin Fit Driver and Passenger Side Pivot V3  

Updated 08/18/2026 | Published 07/26/2026

Question:

I have the Kuat Pivot V3 and the safety pin sits really close to my oversized spare tire. Will this low-profile pin give me some extra clearance?

Hey Eric! Yes, the Replacement Kuat Safety Pin and Cotter # KU67HR has a low-profile design specifically to provide additional clearance around things like oversized spare tires and tailgates. It works with either version of the Kuat Pivot V3:

-Kuat Pivot V3 Swing Away Hitch Extender - Driver Side # KU98CR

-Kuat Pivot V3 Swing Away Hitch Extender - Passenger Side # KU38CR

I'd definitely use the # KU67HR if your current pin is getting a little too close. As you can see in the picture, the lower profile lets the pin tuck underneath the tire where the extra clearance really matters.

What size spare tire are you running?
