Today we are going to install part number 87522 from Hidden Hitch. And we are going to install this on an 2003 Dodge Durango. This also applies to part number 75081 from Draw-Tite. First off, we are going to show you where the hitch mounts. It is going to mount on this bracket right here, with the two bolt holes. And it is also going to come to the end of the frame, to the last crossmember, and it is going to use this hole right here. And there will be a stiffener plate that is going to go inside of here, also. It is a little bit different on the other side. On the drivers side, you are going to use the same hole on the end of the frame, right here. Again, it will get a stiffener bracket, and then also one of the bolt holes back here in the back. You need this one right here in the frame.
OK, one other note is that you may want to lower the spare tire. On some models, they will fit fine with it up there, but sometimes you just have to loosen it to get working room. We will go ahead and install our hardware. Pretty simple. Put the hardware in like so and put our stiffener bracket up toward the rear of the vehicle. Back again, you do the same thing on the other side, install the stiffener bracket and run the bolt and the hardware through the side of the frame here. All right, at this point we can go ahead and start hanging the hitch.
All right, on the drivers side of the frame we will use this hole here. And also the same hole on the crossmember at the rear of the vehicle. All right, we will install our hardware, like so. We will install the stiffener plate and the bolt. OK, at this point we can start hanging the hitch. This one is a little bit on the heavy side, so it would be a good idea to have an extra set of hands. [To assistant: OK, now you should be ready to sneak yours in and around. There you go.] All right, now we will give the bolts their final torque. OK, at this point all that remains is to go ahead and reinstall the spare tire and then you will be done with your install. All right, that takes care of our install of part number 87522 from Hidden Hitch.

Excellent website information for installation and a great product. It shipped and arrived promptly and the personalized email to follow up was great customer service. UPS did beat the box up pretty badly, but everything was there and this thing can take a little rough shipping.25128

Great buy - easy install Installed in about an hour with 2 people. One bolt was tricky to get to and another was tricky to get into the hole, but we were able to manage. Saved a couple hundred $ doing it myself! Worth the time!3351

Excellent This hitch was easy to install, hoewever the one bolt on the front passenger side was a little tricky to put in the right place. Remember to get the correct wiring harness adapter for your vehicle.807
