I'm Awesome
Hey guys,
Ive got a 97 K1500 4x4. It does not appear to have the stock trailer hitch, but Im unsure. The trailer hitch is only bolted on by 4 bolts and two of them are all wonky so thats why i believe its not the factory trailer hitch, it appears to have been swapped out. Or it was just remounted totally wrong and improperly.
Anyways, the problem Im having is with the spare tire not fitting properly. It is the factory spare tire. With the tire lowered down passed the trailer hitch it hangs normally from the cable. When you raise the tire the tire runs into the trailer hitch and you have to push the spare tire towards the front of the truck a good 5-6" while raising it to get it to continue going up. Does that make sense? I hope so. So I can get the tire all the way up but the cable it hangs from is at a really steep angle. Im wondering if anyone has any pictures of the underside of their truck and the factory trailer hitch and its mounting. I'm thinking of just pulling it off and getting a new trailer hitch and starting from scratch but Id like to see what the stock set up is.
Thanks for the help!
