they arent too bad to install yourself, sometimes you gotta make a hole, i would pay attention to the class of hitch depending on your load. they usually run class 1-3 as a average, i had a class 5 that could take a beating once. probaly even find a good used one at a boneyard.
what r u plannin on haulin? if too heavy u planning on beefin the rear springs with helpers, air shocks etc? just curious.
