[QUOTE="Brad B, post: 912102, member: 66042"] I checked out my class II that I cut off, the metal in the x-member appears to be the same thickness. The factory replacement is bolted on after the old one is cut off. Basically, you cut off the end of the frame rails and the new piece goes inside the frame rails and is bolted through. I did collision repair for 25 years, so it wasn't a big deal for me, but I would definately do the receiver swap if I had it to do over again. I have pictures somewhere I think if anyone is interested. And btw, I made the dealer pay for the hitch and the wiring. The wiring gets the brake and the charging circuit to the hitch. The wiring was almost more difficult than the hitch. The harness is a one-piece setup that goes clear up under the passenger side seat. [/QUOTE]
