See title, trying to figure out how to get a hitch installed that will fit with a larger 33" spare tire?

Ok sweet, I have the stock tow hitch, but don't have the mounting hardware/bolts.
Do you know where I can purchase those?

Fastenal has them. Same bolts in front tow hooks. They are fine Thread
Get Grade 8 or above as these are in shear for tow hooks and for tow Hitch.
If you have any rust these can be a nightmare to remove.

Per Google:
"Size for size a fine thread is stronger than a coarse thread . This is both in tension (because of the larger stress area) and shear (because of their larger minor diameter). 2. Fine threads have also less tendency to loosen since the thread incline is smaller and hence so is the off torque."

Have a Draw-Tite on my black 80 & my 40th has a shiney new Consumer Rental sticker on its' receiver - black 80 wore 305/70 / 33's with a spare, the 40th IIRC is on 265's but plenty of room before rubbing the receiver.
If you are super cautious type, might get a single 33" mounted & in place, then go hunting a receiver - but a ad in the WTB's will prob net you OE one someone doesn't want on the cheap, and they fit with a 33".
