This is as far as I got for the night. The chain seems to be tight enough.

This is pretty indicative of the build quality of the hitch. Lots of reviews said the hitch did not align with all mounting holes. Even after a lot of beating with a hammer, there were still uneven gaps. I threw in a few washers on the drivers side front to compensate. I converted this XJ from a RWD. There's no accident damage or rust. Even the windshield is original. I'm confident my unibody is as straight as you'll find.

We contoured it to fit just inside the steering brace. This took a few measurements to get right with minimal gaps.

Not bad for a quick measure and guess. We only tacked the passenger side in as a temporary support

After it was tacked in place on the jeep, one of the ears we cut off was used as a temporary support and the passenger side of the brace was cut off. The angled flange portion of that cutoff was then cut to fit and brace directly from the receiver box to the sector shaft bearing block bolt locations.

I went ahead and added a heavy duty bumper tie in on the drivers side as well, to reinforce that section of the frame raile.
