spare tire with trailer hitch?
Will the spare tire bracket kit work with a trailer hitch? I'm wanting to do both, just don't know if they would interfere with each other.
Also, if anybody has pics of the spare tire bracket/carrier that is listed in LMC truck, I'd like to see a picture. I can't really tell how the tire connects to the bracket. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance. |

Ok, I've got the steel "farm" looking bumper. But no spare tire spot. I'm looking to add one, so it looks like I'm good to go.

Re: spare tire with trailer hitch?
I have a hitch (not a reciever) but a heavy style. I had to make a new bracket from heavt angle that is only about 1 1/2 inches wide it bolts outside the right frame rail and allows the spare rack to move closer to the panard bar. It is about 3/4 inch away but fits nicely.

Re: spare tire with trailer hitch?
It's hard to say with an aftermarket spare tire mount. The one engineered by GM was designed to not interfere with mounting a hitch. These trucks were made to haul. Is your truck a longbed or shortbed?
