I searched and did not find anything...

I picked up a used mopar hitch off the forum and just put it on. It was off an 08 and I might add it was a PITA to install. Very tight on the frame. Spent all my time prying it off and pushing it back up trying to get the holes to align. After I was looking at my new toy I noticed it is not centered in the notch in the bumper. Does this matter? It is very slightly angled to the right. Anyone else's like this? I know it could also be the plastic bumper being off a bit. Would this matter while towing?

 

No the angle will not matter at all. I had to opposite problem I bought an aftermarket hitch and it was loose.

 

x2 on the pain in the ass install. Very very tight espically on your back in the drive way!!! if all the bolts lined up and tighend up youll be fine. NOTE TO SELF: next time buy the jeep with the tow package!!!!!

 

On the back side some of the paint flaked off(due to rust). Everything else is perfect. Even if it was a bent would this affect towing since this is just a pivot point?

 

I'm still glade i didn't waste the 2500 more for it done factory. 50 for a hitch 30 for a harness it a little better.

I wish I had a mallet. I had a pry bar and a hammer for fine tuning but pretty much I was on my back and worked on my bench press until I could get the thing on and the holes aligned.

I looked online for torq numbers on the bolts but I pretty much used my largest socket wrench handle and all of my muscle. Honestly if the bolts all came out I doubt the receiver would come off due to it being so tight...

 

I just put the mopar hitch on my Jeep. It literally took 5 minutes.

 

Ya, cause you put it "on" the back seat!!!!!

its hit or miss, you hit.... we missed!!!!!

I got mine off a guy here for 75 bucks and could not be happier! Thanks JK peeps!
