[QUOTE="TRACket Paul, post: 534520, member: 58634"] All the hitches mount the same. I installed mine by myself using stands. I recommend having human help for the extra eyes and hands, not just for the starting bolts, the bumper assembly needs to be positioned properly to the body of the truck. Also, there are several "styles" for the hitches. Round or square tubing for the cross tube and where the square receiver tube is welded to that tubing. They are either welded at the same level as the cross tube or welded under it. When it is below, only the receiver tube shows because the cross tube gets tucked up next to the spare tire. Which tends to be visually more pleasing when viewed from the back. I have a Valley Industries hitch that is a round tube welded in the first way I mentioned. I paid about $110 for it, I really should have spent more and gotten the other type. I'll do that on my next ST. :D [/QUOTE]
