I went and bought a reese hitch professional 33051
OK... So I was putting this thing on.. and put it on, marked the front holes, pulled it off, drilled the holes out, put it back on, seemed easy enough, torqued the top bolts.. heres where my problems start, I can't reach either of the front bolts, I'm considering pulling the bumper, or very agains the directions, flipping the carriage bolt to the bottom and putting the nut on top with a, my problem with this is the metal plate it comes with on "looks" like its for load distribution..AKA wide and thick, like using a 3/16" thick fender washer (problem is it has the notched square hole for the carriage bolt)....
not 911, but I'm trying to get it done this weekend.
94 xlt, 4 door, no lift
