Draw Tite Front Receiver?

I just got and installed my draw tite front receiver. I am very impressed with the construction and finish, top notch. My only complaint is that I wasn't able to use 2 of the 4 extra bolts they supply due to not being able to access the back end enough to get the nuts started. This was on the passenger side. So I have mine installed with 6 bolts, 4 on the driver side and 2 on the other.

Anyone out there get the DT front hitch? Anyone else have the same prob and did you figure a way to get those other 2 bolts started?

Thanks!

Maybe... I should have said I have a 2002 F250 V-10. I also got my original posting wrong, it is the driver's side where I can't access. On the driver's side there are a couple lines, I think they are the power steering fluid lines to the cooler, in the way.
