Here are all the parts that came with my new OEM hitch. Anyone happen to know what the item(s) circled in yellow are used for? They are not referenced in the installation instructions.

Those nuts go inside the frame and the handle allows you to hang on to them while putting the bolts in. But…………………… do your self a favor and use the OEM nut strips. All the nuts will be attached to one strip and much easier to use

Interesting... The nut is welded to the handle/nut thing... So I don't think I can use it for more than one bolt...?

But... This nut-strip sounds interesting! I'll have to research to find the part number.
