towing package

i have a 93 and am trying to bolt up the factor towing package. when i purchased the truck it came with a window sticker which had the towing package but no reciever hitch. the wiring harness is still there under the truck. i got a factory towing package at a junk yard from a same yr truck. when i try to bolt it up the 4 holes on the hitch do not line up with anything under the truck is there supposed to be a support bracket or something this is the hitch i have any help would be great
thx rick

My truck came with the factory towing package but didn't come with a hitch. I had to put one on. You have to drill the holes in the frame for it. The towing package I believe is the anti-sway bars and light harness.

What are you towing? FYI.. the rear step bnumpers on these trucks have a class 3 rating.

because the step bumper is capable of towing. But most of us (like you) prefer a reciever hitch instead. Just clamp it to the frame and drill the holes. Pretty easy!
