When installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98868 the flange nuts won't actually touch each other. You can see in the attached installation videos that the u-bolt will be just wide enough to avoid the flanges from touching at all so there won't be any overlapping. If you are experiencing overlapping the u-bolt may have been bent in and will need adjusting.

This installs in the exact same way as the Curt # C13119 and I've linked that video to assist as well.
