Will B and W Trailer Hitch # BWHDRH25182 Fit Silverado And Allow for 285/70-17 Spare
Published 11/10/2026
Question:
I have 2006 2500hd Duramax 4x4 crew cab short bed. Currently Im running a torklift super hitch and my Spare 285/7017 tire doesnt fit under the bed. Im trying to find out if it has been confirmed that this hitch will allow for the larger spare tire. Im also running 4inch MRBP exhaust and no longer need to run the super hitch because I went to a 5th wheel although keeping the hitch Class 5 is preferred.

Hey Chris, I attached a picture of the B and W hitch part # BWHDRH25182 installed on a truck with the stock spare which is 2 inches shorter in diameter than the size 285/70-17 that you mentioned. There is definitely clearance from side to side for it but front to back it might be a little tight but I am confident you could just angle the spare back. Your larger exhaust is most likely not a problem either if it wasn't a problem with the Superhitch.
