The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weighs 45 lbs.
You will need: socket wrench with 10mm, 9/16", and 11/16" sockets; torque wrench; die grinder or rotary tool (for hole enlargement); and aviation shears (for heat shield trimming).
The kit includes: 2 × 7/16-14 UNC grade 8 carriage bolts (1-1/2"), 2 × 7/16-14 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts, 2 × 0.250 × 1.00 × 2.50" square hole spacers, 2 × 7/16" fishwire, 2 × hex flange nuts (3/8-16), and 1 × 3/8" U-bolt.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing rubber isolators before installation. For single exhaust vehicles, remove 2 isolators; for dual exhaust vehicles, remove 4 isolators. The exhaust is then raised and reattached after the hitch is secured.
Yes. You must remove the heat shield(s) by removing four screws per shield before installation. Save the screws and shields for reinstallation after the hitch is secured. The shields will then need to be trimmed around the hitch.
No drilling is required. However, you may need to enlarge the existing access holes in the frame rails using a die grinder or rotary tool if the hardware cannot pass through. Check whether the fasteners fit through the access holes before enlarging.

Fishwire is a method of threading fasteners through access holes in the frame rails. You thread the 7/16-14 × 1.5" carriage bolts and CM-SP11 spacers through the access holes and out the mounting holes in both frame rails. The manual includes a fishwire technique diagram showing this process.
Insert the 3/8" U-bolt through the tow hook as shown in the installation diagram. The U-bolt is then secured with 3/8-16 hex flange nuts.
Non-trailer loads can be applied to this hitch only if they are supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch itself is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, but your vehicle's capacity may be lower.
After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This maintenance is important for safe operation.
