Hitch Class Iii - Up To 8000 Lbs. 2 In. Receiver
Hitch install
Hard to install without lifting vehicle. Make sure you ad additional clearance to install this. Also, the nuts and bolts that come with the hitch are completely different sizes than the ones they say you need. You’ll need a 24mm and 19mm socket to secure the hitch to the frame. Not a 21 and 17. I had to borrow the 24 as it’s not a size in my kit, they skipped it went 25,27, and 30 I believe. Takes longer than 60 minutes to install, closer to 2 hours. Make sure you have a good cut wheel for the bumper as I ended up using a razor knife since the snips and my cut wheel cheap Dremel wasn’t good enough.
