If you would be so kind I need the [1] size of angle iron, it's width and the spacing of the bolt holes[ so they line up with the existing inside holes] [2] the H X W X thickness of the backing plate, and [3] what size bolts as in their diameter, length and grade?
I am just going to carry a bike rack and GoRhino step there so i don't need one
extra HD for towing.

I think that Welder Guy has one he uses as a template. I'll have to see if he'll bring it in for me to take some measurements. That'll be next week though since I'm outta town this week.

IIRC, 2 of the holes do use existing holes in the frame. 2 holes are not critical in position since you'll be drilling those yourself.

when I installed the Original Tone Hitch (thanks again Tom!), the two middle holes were close to lining up, but did require a little finessing with the drill.
