2 in. hitch fasteners
It's best to start at the bolts that attache your hitch since it's not factory and you didn't install it. It should have Grade 8 bolts or as one has already said, you could be passed by your own. A grade 5 bolt will have 3 short lines running out from the centertowards the hex flats. A grade 8 will have 6. no lines is a grade 2 and should never be used except maybe on wood.

could some one with a class3 and some one with a class4 take a tape and see how long the bracket that goes along the frame is because I was reading on a web site the bracket on a class 3 hitch goes farther back on the frame than a class 2 and a class 4 goes farther back than a class 3.

that is what I have from the factory. you can find them in the junk yards real easy. completely bolt right up. the yard around here charges 40 bucks for one. it is a substantial piece of hitch. most even say mopar on them
