Do you have a Drawtite front hitch??

I got one as a display model. No instructions or hardware. Does anyone have install instructions or hardware specs.

it should mount between the frame and the swaybar bushings. i replaced my stock swaybar bolts with some Grade 8 (or was it 8.8 metric?) bolts, and you need to drill a 1/2" hole into the frame on each frame rail right near the front bumper.
make it easier and remove the entire front bumper before you even start this project.
the hitch should have come with some carriage bolts (with square shoulders) and some square plates backing plates that they sit in. go to a truck accesory /hitch shop or maybe just the place you bought it, and see if they have any extras kickin around the shop.
IIRC there is also a folded steel "lip" on the forward part of the frame rail that raises up 1/4". it needs to be pounded flat or the hitch wont fit flush with the frame rails.

check out the DrawTite website, might be able to find a downloadable/printable version of the instructions.

Thanks for the info Sid.

I got the instructions dowloaded from a draw tite website.

They said they could order me a hardware kit from draw tite but it would cost me $50!!! I don't think I'll be doing that.

My question is if I can get the following parts at a hardware/parts store:

1/2-13 x 2-1/4 grade5 carriage bolts
1/4 x1-1/2 x 2 block
7/16/ x 1 2 block
