Question:
How do I use the Blade stiffeners that provide 2 additional points of contact between the plow and your hitch for a sturdy connection? My hitch is the CURT 31322 that installs behind the bumper.

Hey Michael! The blade stiffeners on the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8826ELT extend from either side of the plow's frame back to your front hitch. They're adjustable and designed to brace against the hitch cross tube, giving you two additional points of contact for extra stability.
Since your Curt # 31322 mounts behind the bumper, the stiffeners may not line up with the hitch cross tube. We actually checked with Detail K2 on a similar setup, and they confirmed the stiffeners aren't always necessary for normal plowing, but are recommended when pushing heavy snow.
