You need the following materials:
Drill
3/8" metal drill bit
3/8" drive socket for use in drill
Phillips head bit for drill
7/16" wrench
marker
extra hand if needed
The first thing you will need to do is bend the plate. I recommend doing one of two things, take it to a body shop, and ask them to bend it along the line I draw, should take them about 30 seconds. I would say about 25 degrees or so?
Or do it the manual way. Put the plate tread down on a towel or cardboard, on the pavement. Put a 2x4 parallel to the line about 1-2 inches away from the line toward the pointed end of the plate. Now place your 5000lb weight (your vx) on the 2x4 and bend the plate by hand to look like it matches the angle on the front end of the VX. It does not have to be perfect, you can man handle during install as needed.
Next, you will need the drill and 3/8" bit. You will need to drill a hole here:
