IMPORTANT NOTICE:
While NorthHitch trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.
Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.
To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).
Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.

i used a small bottle jack stuck inside the hitch and lifted it up then cribbed it, then placed jack on cribbing and lifted again slowly and then slide the hitch into place
the 8 mm valance bolt dead center of the bumper needs to be removed temporarily, as well as clipping a plastic alignment pin
i use normal MECHANIC tools, from ,y 40 plus years of wrenching
take your time and its an 2 day job if your one person
i also used some under body felt panels to make a plenum for the air that gets directed up to the radiator with the plastic plenum, plus it makes it dark and protects the engine lower pulley from road spray
