Ugg.. once I get my replacement spare tire winch I'll have to take a look and see if the two outer bolts would hit or not.. I might just put the originals back in.

What size spare are you running? I recall seeing that for the outer two you just need to cut off the excess bolt to fit a 265/70/17 in there...
Edit: and another idea for those who can weld... clean up the area and throw some fillet welds around there to add support. Dont see a reason you'd want to permanently remove the hitch (and even if you did, you could grind the welds off)

My welder (and skill) isn't good enough to trust for a project of this importance.. so I'll check it out and update once my winch is here which should be Tuesday.
I meant welding in addition to the bolts.
Yes I know, but my welder is only a 90 amp cheapy that makes bird sh** splatter welds. So I don't think me running a crappy bead is really going to make any difference. So I'll either pay someone to weld it, or if the bolts aren't in the way put the original 2 back in.
LMAO that is by far the best analogy i've ever heardOriginally Posted by hoaxci5
How often are you towing max capacity? I don't think you have much to worry about man.... throw the factory bolts back in before you sell it.
My aftermarket hitch has the nut on the other side and bolt goes through the other way
