Well it had to happen sooner or later, had a less than stellar experience buying stuff off craigs list. Found a factory hitch and the add said with bolts. Now that it has arrived, well no bolts and the guy is acting like the add never should have said that. Working that with craigs list but in the mean time need to get ready to mount the hitch for a project that is coming up.

Does anyone know the Bolt size, length, qty, and thread required to mount the factory hitch? It has occurred to me that it might not be a factory hitch but lets "assume" it is for now. 2 1/4 inch receiver on it, if anyone know a sure way to ID a factory hitch, let me know.

Bolts of any grade are not a problem, from my day job know where to get those. Want to as closely match the factory sizes and lengths as possible. Have read up on the hard to get extra long bolt and really want to know as much about that bad boy as possible.

Since the overload springs and the lighting stuff is on the way, have a week or so to get all the bolts and get ready for the installation.

If anyone has some sort of mounting instructions or write up, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Paul
