After all ive done and the nice guys on here helping. I think I have the wrong hitch.

These holes:


Do not match up on the tubular bar that goes across under the bumper. they are about an inch apart........

If I got the wrong one, then what does this stupid thing fit?

 

I dunno, but that looks similar to mine, except mine's got a 12000 pound max leveling weight, not 10000.


Edit: You've got a 1/2 ton? Bolt the two that do line up, then go get the rest of it welded up. IIRC the factory welds them on anyway.

 

If the holes are off and thats all, can you drill new holes?

 

according to everything I've looked at (IE:dodge.com,moparonlineparts.com,dodge parts.com,popar.com) 02-08 should all be the same.it's the exact same one I put on my 05.the numbers match and everything.Tomorrow I'll take a pic of it on for you and you can see if it's set up the same way yours is.

 

Its welded on? WTF? There are two holes on the back right? There is also a small gap in between the tube bar and reciever hitch..

 

Exchange it for the right one?

 

I bought it on craigslist for $40

 

Ok I just checked mine, and no it's not welded on. Someone said they were and I took their word for it.

Mine's bolted on, the number on the top is 58903, it's 12,000/1200 and 5000/500.

 

There not welded on.This how it is on my 05...

This is from the top side of the bumper.Under the dodge cap it 3 bolt holes,Usually the middle one is not plugged because everyone just puts a ball there.The other 2 on the sides are covered up by the bumper step pad.You can take the pad completely off and then put it back on after you have installed the hitch,But it's a PITA.I just cut the holes out of the pad and found this cap on e-bay for $20.

This is from the side.You can see one of the side bolts and how it goes around the tube to the back bolts

And this is just for the back bolts.
