Installing a tow hitch
hey guys,does anyone know where I could find the neccessary mounting hardware for installing a tow package? I found a guy that will sell me a factory class III hitch for $35 but no bolts or nut strips. I searched ebay and the internet and can't find one who sell them without the complete tow package.Thanks,Dan

$35 is a good deal. I just gave $150 for my Curt hitch. You should be able to score the hardware at about any good hardware store or Fastenal. All you need is some 12mm x 1.75 x 2" bolts w/ washers & some 1/2" x 2" carriage bolts w/ plates or you could just make your own nut plates.

im kinda regretting not doing a diy. but i just installed mine.
i used 6 1/2-13x2inch bolts. with matching washers nuts and lock washer.
It honestly took me under one hr to install. and i have never installed a hitch before
here is a video of how to install it
