The sticker doesn't make a difference whether you have it or not.

Since my trailer's jack is too close to the coupler, a standard size hitch will not work unless I remove the spare tire.
My solution to the clearance issue:

It's called the Ultimate Jack, and is easily modified to make it entirely removable.

That's actually a great solution! I dropped off our trailer yesterday to have a few things fixed, and I'll call and see if they can install one of these or something similar.

This is it right?
