Getting a Hitch

[Ryan D]

I've decided to do away with the standard bumper hitch and get a class 3 hidden hitch. Got a quote from a Rhino Lining place nearby that wants 199$ installed. That seems kinda high as you can get a hitch on ebay for around 100$.

How difficult is it to install yourself?

Any good ideas on where to go for installation?

Thanks!

I did it by myself with the help of a jack and jackstands but it's kind of hard. I'd recommend having at leave 1 helper doesn't matter who as long as they are strong enough to hold the hitch in place. If I remember right it was about 6 bolts. Pretty easy install just bulky/ackward to do by yourself.

I have one from a seller on Ebay. It works fine , but the paint on it isn't very good so be careful. I did the same as JD did with a helper. Just takes some patience. Alot of aligning it and then lowering the jack so the weight of the truck forced it in place (with some help from a rubber mallet), slowly but surely. Good luck.

I have a Hidden Hitch I took off my 01 Trac for sale it will bolt right up and is in good shape if you are interested.

I'm interested Mark, that is if Ryan doesn't want it. I've been looking for a hitch but can't pay new prices. Please email me, clbatchATyahooDOTcom

Took me hours to put mine on...but then I have zero mechanical appitude. Wife was my assistant anbd held it in place while I installed. Front hitch went on smoother . Or was it vice versa?



Anyway, I put a hitch on the front and rear and it is not all that hard. My problems were mostly stupidity on my part and trying to rush the job.

Biz: hmm . .I'm in the same boat . . I think I will give it a shot.
