There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
One problem I ran into is the tolerances for the bolts and nuts is off quite a bit, and as a result many of the nuts couldn't go on the bolts, even with an impact driver/drill. I had to take a lot of time trying to match bolts to nuts, and in the end I couldn't use the carriage bolts on one side because the nuts just didn't fit. The kit only comes with 2 different sized nuts, 1/2" and 3/8", so it wouldn't have been hard to fit them on. I'm not sure if it's the nuts themselves that are off, or if the bolts are off, I'll have to test the nuts on other bolts that I get from lowes and see how they fit.
Beyond that, it was EXCELLENT. Once you understand that there is a "fishing wire" that helps you to get the bolts into the frame of the hitch, and that on each side they offset the holes so that the bolts don't get in each other's way, it was easy to do alone. I did use a jack to hold the hitch up so I could drill the holes in the frame in the correct spot, but that's more a strategy to know I did it right, which this is a skoolie, so of course I will have to do manual work, and that is not a flaw with the hitch itself.
It came with more then enough hardware to mount it to whatever vehicle you had. The instructions weren't the clearest, but it was enough that you could figure it out. If I had something more difficult than a skoolie, I think the instructions would be much harder to understand.
I did find it kinda silly how they packaged this from Amazon. They had used a big box, about 1.5 feet longer than the hitch box and about 4 inches too wide, and with no padding, to deliver it. Not really a big problem, but is annoying as I had to carry this in a wagon, and had I known the outer box was that big in comparison I would have opened it and saved myself some trouble.
