Default Installing Hitch

I have never done this before and I am worried that I won't be able to get the bolts tight enough. Have any of you guys done this before? I no I need to take of the rear bumper for the receiver to fit into place (or so i think). Any input would be appreciated.

If you are putting on a Mopar hitch, you do not have to take off the bumper to install it. It is fairly easy to put on.

Any hitch kits I've seen for the past 15 years or so have been no-drill, piece of cake to install. You should have no problem at all...
