Will I need to cut bumper to install hitch 75338 on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd.?

Question:
I want make sure there is no cutting involved with my 2006 Grand Cherokee Ltd. This is the hitch your local distributer recommended and thought they would need to make some cuts. I want a class 3 hitch without any cutting. Can you help ? Any photos ?

Expert Reply:
You will not need to cut the bumper fascia. You will need to pull the fascia rearward about one inch to raise the hitch into position. The instructions say that on vehicles with the OEM tow hook, the tow hook must be permanently removed for hitch installation. I have included links to the instructions and to a video that shows installation of this hitch on a similar vehicle.
