Great product, tough install
Electric130 from Charlotte, NC
The finished product is great and looks good. The install was somewhat harder than I expected. I've installed other hitches before. This one took quite a bit of drilling and grinding on the frame rails to open up the access holes enough to get the mounting bars through. Definitely need a Dremel or grinder to install this kit. Took about 2 hours in the end. About 3 times the estimated 40min install time.

Strong design and material
Glynn from Dallas,Ga.
Ordered on Tue and arrived Fri via free ship. No drilling but very difficult to pull bolts thru frame. 2-person job a must. Approx 2 hrs for assembly. Material & hardware impressively strong. Fits perfect. Glad I purchased it.

I was undecided as to whether have the popular chain, "Uhaul" install the hitch or do it myself. After watching the install video you provided I had no problem doing it myself.
Excellent product, excellent delivery and excellent video instructions. I highly recommend this product to all. FYI, I saved $200 doing it myself...
