• Class V Trailer Hitch for 2002 Ford F-350 That is Compatible With Spare Tire
  I took a look at each hitch for your 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and was able to find one option for a Class V hitch that will work with a spare tire, and is near flush with your bumper, which is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT45508.

• Does Draw Tite Hitch DT45508 Have Safety Chain Size Requirements
  There isn't a listed safety chain size that the Draw Tite hitch part # DT45508 was designed to be used with but Draw Tite makes their hitches to be as universal as possible with safety chains so if you were having issues with your current hitch this one would fit and work better. The only time we typically see any issues with safety chain loops not fitting well with safety chains is on OEM hitch setups.
