4. Fishwire Rearward Bolts:
- Use the fishwire method to install the carriage bolts and 2" blocks through the access hole and into the rearward attachment holes.
- Ensure the blocks are not overlapping each other and leave the pull wires attached.
5. Fishwire Forward Bolts:

- Leave the pull wires attached.
6. Install Hitch:
- Raise the hitch into position, starting with the passenger side over the muffler.
- Guide the pull wire ends through the attachment holes, remove the pull wires, and install conical washers (teeth side toward hitch) and 1/2" hex nuts onto the carriage bolts.
- Verify that no wires or other items are pinched between the hitch and the vehicle frame.
7. Tighten Fasteners:
- Torque all hitch fasteners to 110 lb-ft (149 N·m).
8. Trim Heat Shield:
- Trim the heat shield as necessary and reinstall the remaining portion.
- For 2020 and newer models, if the heat shield cannot be separated from the underbody panel due to metal rivets, do not trim it and return it to the vehicle owner.
9. Reinstall Exhaust Hangers:
- Raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall all exhaust hangers.
