Chevy Colorado Receiver Hitches

Finally got around to installing it. It looks great on my Colorado. I chose this one as the weight capacity is greater than the Colorado is ratted for, I'm a big believer in a little stronger is always the way to go. My 1/2 inch pneumatic impact gun picked this job to break, so I used hand tools. Have a big breaker bar as Chevy uses a thread locker and they fight you. (buying a new 1/2 impact today). I used my ramps and backed my Colorado just part way up to increase my working room and then varied my height as needed. (do not forget to chalk the wheels) The two vertical side plates are custom-made for the frame so it's important to have an assistant to help slide it into place as trying to do it by myself was impossible, as if it's just a little cocked it's a no-go. We even lubricated the plates and frame beams to help. But, that said there is nothing wrong with a nice tight fit.
