The heat shield needs to be trimmed to install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24872 that you referenced to allow the mounting flanges of the hitch to mate up properly to the frame of the vehicle.
Check out the video I attached that shows how this is done. I also attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
