They are pretty easy to install yourself slingshot. Come with all instructions. I installed one in my buddys truck a few years back and all he had to take it to the shop was for the electric brakes.

Hitch House just by Campers Village in the west end just behind Mr.Sub. Had my last two done there. Never had a problem, I shopped the price around a bit, and they were cheaper, close and got me in right away.

You will have to decide if you want the brackets that hold the hitch to the frame either bolted on or welded on. Bolted on would be the way I would go now. My previous one they welded the brackets to the frame and the welds were at right angles to the line of travel of the electrons in the frame. I always thought you were not supposed to weld to cut the flow of electrons. But you can ask the welders on the forum the proper way to weld to a frame if indeed it does matter. I am not a welder.

All frames are heat treated and hardened now, there should be NO welding of any kind on them. Bolted is the only way.
