Tow Hitch Install
I have a 2010 JKU Sport and it didnt come with a tow hitch on it, so I found a guy on CL that upgraded his back bumper and removed his stock tow hitch receiver. I got his receiver for only $30 but the bolts that bolted it in are being used on his upgraded bumper. I have tried to find bolts that will fit but the longest I can find anywhere are 80mm when I need 110mm. BoltDepot goes from 100mm-120mm and I dont want the extra not bolting in securely. I have been told that the bolts should be already there but all I can see are the holes that line up for the hitch with no bolts. Can anyone help me find the right sized bolts so I can get my hitch bolted on? Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you that the bolts should come with the hitch. They are not already there, just the holes. As far as actual size, try calling a dealer. I bought my receiver used, but honestly didn't pay attention to bolt size.

Well I bought the hitch off a guy on craigslist, thought I was getting a great deal on it for $30 but now its just becoming a hassle trying to find the right bolts to get the sucker bolted on. The size Im lookin for is M12-1.50"x110mm but no where I look has them. I even tried the manufacturer and they say they dont just sell the bolts but they can sell me a whole new hitch that will come with the bolts! Oh gee thanks!

My only thing in that that 1/2 in is going to loosen over time and one day I hitch up and it just drops on me! But if I cant get anything else I might just have to try that. Thanks for the help and advice.
