Question:
Is this a hitch a true bolt on or will holes be required for fishing bolts through chassis ? Thank You

According to the installation instructions, linked below, for the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11446, and your 2008 Suzuki SX4 Sport, you will need to fishwire bolts through the frame by enlarging an existing frame hole and using a bolt leader (included) to route a bolt and block through the attachment point at each frame rail.
The process is actually not very difficult. I have included a video below showing the fishwire technique that should help when installing the trailer hitch.
The recommended ball mount for your vehicle is # C45521 and you can use ball # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, you will need Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness, # HM11141255. I have included a link to the installation details for this wiring harness below.
