I got my hitch off of a junk yard jeep. I looked for several weeks and found a class five hitch. The jeep also had a skid plate so I knew it would fit over/around my factory skid as well. If you have a skid plate you should already have the nut strips inside the "frame". if not then there are many vendors that sell them or if you take the hitch from a junk yard Jeep make sure to take the nutstrips as well. You will have to remove the bumper to get them out.
