2000 front receiver hitch

I just finished installing the a Drawtight front receiver hitch. All went pretty well, a couple holes had to be enlarged for alignment. The instructions say to remove the front bumper. I just loosened the plastic ends and removed the Torx bolts for the center section it scoothches out enough to get the front 2 bolts into the frame end. Thought it might save someone some time

Did u remove the airdam or trim it? if you trimmed it then how big or a hole and did the tow hooks hang below the airdam? perhaps you can provide a pic?

You did not unbolt the 6 15mm bolts that hold the front bumper on to do the front hitch?
