Right now, here's what our hitch looks like installed and as you can see Jwe're going to have that main tube running pretty much side to side across the rear of the vehicle here. Tucks up pretty close to the underside of our bumper so we're not adding a whole lot of length going down from the bottom of the bumper here in the middle. We've got our 2" by 2" receiver tube opening, nice soft rounded edge here, and also it's tucked in behind our bumper slightly so I really don't think we're going to wind up hitting our legs on it or anything like that. Large, plate style safety chain connection points here, should be able to get just about any chain you want connected to that. Then you'll see our wiring tab that's been welded on here, this allows for easy attachment of wiring if you decide to using the 3 pre-drilled holes. You can see our pin holes here in the side, the larger one closer to the front of the vehicle, that's what you secure all your items with, it's going to be 5/8" in diameter, looks like we'll have the room we need on either side whether we're using a pin and clip, locking hitch pin, or an anti rattle device. more
