Expert Reply:
I have included a link to the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36548. There is no mention of having to cut, trim, or drill anything for installation.
The hitch comes with the correct ball mount, pin, and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring, use # 118404. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing an example installation.
You may also want to clean out the weldnuts to ease in hitch installation. I have included a link to a video showing the cleaning process.
