The installation of this Baseplate on my 2016 Wrangler was very simple and the instructions were easy to follow. I ran into one problem; there is no mention on how much space is allowable between the base plate and the frame. On my vehicle I had about 1/8" on each side ( a total of 1/4" ). This looked like too large of a gap so I called Blue Ox and they said that was normal and that the two plates would get pulled in against the frame when I torqued down the bolts; sure enough they did. So a note that says something like " The base plate may touch the frame rails when held in place but a gap of up to 1/8 inch per side is within the allowable tolerance."
The Tech rep at HitchSource was extremely helpful and explained everything I needed to get for my installation. Everything looks great and is functioning wonderfully.
