Default bolts for trailer hitch

hey guys i have a 95 cherokee sport and i got a trailer hitch for it and it didn't come with bolts. it looks like a pain in the *** to install and it looks like i need a bolt with a flat washer on it to hold it in place to tighten. the last owner said they were just a nut and bolt to hold it on but i have no idea how he did that. does anyone have a link to a website that sells bolts for a hitch? thanks guys

Find these there nut strips the slide in the slot behind the bumper and distribute the pulling force better than just nuts and bolts thru the unibody

Yes it is for recovery and where do I find that? Also does anyone know where I can find one of those big *** hooks that slide into the receiver and almost swing around? I see people have them driving around and I want one haha. Sorry for asking so many questions

Ya, nut strips will work great you just gotta remove the bumper to slide them in first. And ya I think you mean a D-Ring shackle, I have one in my hitch I put in last year, like this right??





I got mine off eBay for like 30 bucks!
