Expert Reply:
In order to install this Draw-Tite Receiver Hitch, part # 36309, you will need to remove the rearmost fastener which secures the load leveling control housing to the frame rail and discard it. You will then trim the load leveling control housing around where the previously removed fastener was. See the picture to the right for further clarification.
