I was trying to install a Skid Row gas skid and a Draw-tite rear hitch this weekend and am having a heck of a time lining up the bolt holes. I bought a new nut strip for the driver's side since there was none there before. I stripped one of the nuts in the nut strip. Do I re-tap it with a larger diameter and get a new bolt size? Would a self tapper be strong enough? I figured this would take maybe 2hours, but I was wrong. I think my suspension went on easier than this. The fit is extremely tight. The passenger side is done, so I figured the driver's side would be cake. the holes are about 1/4" off. Can I widen the holes in the hitch to bolt it up. I don't really want to do that, but I don't see it working any other way. I was forced to drive it to work with the rear bumper off today. I got a few weird looks. Oh well. It's a 1997 btw. TIA
