Super fast shipping!!! Ordered it at about 3p (West Coast time), it shipped same day from Pacific, WA - got it the next day! WOW!!
Now on to the install. First, drop your spare tire. Next, tire a fishing line to the head of the carriage bolt (the bolt fished into the bumper). This is in case your included wire fish line breaks or comes off the bolt. Last, fish the wire with the coiled end from the center bumper holes to the outside, screw on the carriage bolt, then pull gently through the bumper support beam and out. Piece of cake once I figured it out.

Excellent hitch, perfect fit. Our local travel trailer dealer wanted 185 dollars for this product installed.

Great price. I was going to buy the hitch from a local dealer. I saved a lot of money at HitchSource.com. The construction of this hitch is top notch. The black coating is very durable and looks great. It's not going to be one of those rusty looking hitches. I'm very happy with the product.

Great product and looks great! The only tip I would add is that the directions are a little weak as they do not tell you to screw the carriage bolts you must feed into the tube bumper into the coiled end of the fishwire. They also don't tell you to feed the fishwire out from the middle of the bumper and then screw the bolt onto the fish wire. I was stumped for a while as to how to make it work and then got on Dodge's web site and downloaded their directions and then finishing the job became a snap. Other suggestion would be to tie a piece of actual fishing line on the heads of the carriage bolts when you feed them into the tube bumper so that if they get stuck, you can pull them back out and try again. One of mine got stuck briefly and I was lucky enough to wiggle it free, but if I had attached the fishing line I could have easily pulled it back out and tried again. If I couldn't have wiggled it free, I would have been sunk as the fishwire and the bolt would have been stuck in the tube bumper and I don't know how I could have got it out as the fishwire is not a heavy enough guage to allow you to push too hard on it.
Still a great product though!
