Ordered it from e trailer. Got here pretty quick. All the hardware was included and taped VERY SECURELY to the hitch itself. Instructions were easy to understand with color photos showing what to do.
First I drove the vehicle onto some blocks raising it about 3 inches.(the rear only) Then I set the handbrake. I grabbed a pair of safety goggles, ear protection, cordless drill, grinding stones, trouble light, and a mat. Laid under the car and pulled the 4 black plugs and started wallowing out the two holes the instructions said to do. After that I used the fish tape to run the bolts and set it up. Next I got the hitch, laid back down on the mat, and laid the hitch on my chest until I was ready to install it. I raised one side, placed the spacers, started the nuts, then did the other side. Checked for alignment and tightened the bolts. That was the tricky part. I don't think I could have done that without a swivel socket adapter and an extension. Torqued everything down to specs and was ready to go.
It took about an hour to do.(total) I bored out the holes and installed the bolts during my lunch hour. Then finished up when I got home after work.
tip. It helps to have a fan next to you blowing the dust, metal pieces coming off the stone away from you.
