To install the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41990 along with brackets like # 4907 will roughly take between 3 and 5 hours for prep, welding, and painting to seal the metal. There are many different hourly rates depending on the shop but in general, a shop cost will be somewhere between 65 and 125 dollars an hour. I recommend shopping around for the best local price and reputation.

If you have a certified welder outside of a shop with the proper equipment, the cost may be as low as 30 dollars an hour based on my research.
