Need Spacer Block to Install Used Trailer Hitch on 2008 Ford Edge
Question:
I have a curt trailer hitch for a 2008 Ford Edge. I bought it second hand. The previous owner had all the hardware except the spacers that hold the carriage bolts in place. I need to get this thing mounted pretty quick but cant find anything locally to get the job done. Can I buy just the spacers from you? I dont want to buy the whole hardware kit when I only need those few parts. Thanks for your help.

We don't have the exact spacer block that would've been included with the # C13067 hitch but the # RP3022 comes very close. The block is a little narrower, and the hole is centered rather than being on one end. This means that the block may try to spin once the bolt is being tightened. If this happens, use an impact wrench. The impact wrench will spin fast enough to prevent the block from spinning. It might take a minute or so, but the bolt will tighten. You'd also need a few bolt leaders, part # C58400 for fishing the hardware into the frame members.
All this being said, you really should purchase the entire replacement hardware it. The bolts are only designed to be torqued once and after that, they should be replaced. To obtain the full hardware kit, use part # RHK. On the page, in the provided field, please type in the part number of the hitch, which in your case is C13067 and choose 'Curt' from the drop down menu.
I've linked the installation instructions for the hitch, simply click the provided link.
