Trailer Hitch Installation: Drop bolts through easy access points on the frame. Next is a simple matter of holding the hitch up and putting the nuts on. Before tightening the bolts up, be sure to center the hitch up with the frame using the edge of a weld. After centering go ahead and tighten the bolts, and the van is ready to go. more

Today we are installing hitch number 70626 on a 1998 GMC Jimmy. This hitch will also work with a Chevy Blazer also. The attaching points for this hitch are going to be on the side of the frame here. We are going to remove both of these bolts then we are going to use this existing hole also. To gain easier access to both of these bolts we are going to take down this bolt. Which that bolt is your fender support that will allow us more room to get inside there. We are going to do this for both sides. We are going to remove the bolt here on the side of the frame. You can see as of right now with the stabilizer bar in place we can not access these bolts very well. Since we removed this bolt here we can actually bend the bar up and out of the way. So we can gain access to the bolts. more
