The install looks good. I laugh because i think how many issues and frustration explosions I would have doing that. That is a slick looking hitch. I thought I always recalled a big heavy plate on top of the bed on the few I have seen. This hitch seems to virtually disappear / flat when removed.
Lots of f-bombs were dropped! Very first thing that went askew was finding out that my truck is missing the jack handle, so I couldn't drop the spare tire!
Hi Hunter! That sure looks like a real nice hitch kit. You sure do a great job with your videos explaining your experience in detail, what you needed to do, right down to notching the fender liner for the release handle. I never would have thought about the bed liner thickness when measuring the location for drilling the 4" hole. That 1/16 inch would have made a major problem. Great job!
My mechanic said they bed was 3/4 in too wide for my short bed. H said he needs to drill holes through the frame, why is that if the kit is the right one for a 5' 7'' bed.
What a fantastic video. B&W should hire you and give you a film crew to do these for them!

Great video. I'm doing the same thing tomorrow morning
Put mine in this morning. Very much of a pain in the ass when installing by yourself.

Very Helpful. Good video👍

Sounds like he didn't install the kit properly. Perhaps he drilled the ball hole in the wrong spot.
Do you have link to the one you used keeps telling it won’t fit my 1500 Sierra
So your chevy must have the 6.2 ?
5.3 V8. I no longer own the truck.
What will you be towing with this hitch? Can a 1500 handle it?
Connor Denes 1500 will handle it fine
He going to be hauling a 30,000 lbs backhoe.
