Question:

The apllication chart indicates this will fit on the front of a 2003 Chevy Avalanche.I only see 1 possible monting hole in bottom of chassis where the tow hook is secured on each side at the front of the chassis rail.. If picture and installation instructions are correct it appears the hitch should mount with 2 bolts on the bottom of each side of chassis rail .My vehicle is a stock 1500 Z71 Model,How does the hitch mount?
