Hey Bradley, when you say you only have the hitch which part are you referring to? Do you have the shank that slips into the trailer hitch of the vehicle or do you have the head of the hitch as well as the shank and need everything else?
The part number # RP54970 is just the shank is why I ask.

Hey Bradley, did you have a chance to check if you have the head of the hitch as well as the shank? I'm asking because knowing this will help me find the right parts for your setup.
