I'm a mechanic, and this hitch installed very easily. I ran my truck up on some Rhino ramps. With that extra clearance, I was able to lay the hitch on my stomach, get one side started with the bolt, then do the other side. Then pivot the hitch up and do the top bolts. Then tighten the nuts to torque afterwards.
