Hitch installed in 4.8is

[atillathetom]

I finally took the plunge on Sunday and ripped my 05 4.8 apart to install the hitch.

I was extremely intimidated and almost quit about 5 minutes in as I could not get the brass T55 bolts out. After no time I had the bumper off and was dropping hte exhaust.

It took about 6 hours, but I think if I did it again I could get it done in under 4.

I did not have help...so it can be done solo.

2 Questions...

1.)I could not locate my tork wrench in the middle of the job so I just hand tightened. I think it is pretty close to 55ftlbs, but should I retighten everything with a tork wrench before I pull?
2.)Which bolts/nuts allow me to adjust the height of the bumper? I would like to bring it up 1/4 of an inch or so, but could not seem to move it up any further.

Thanks,

Tom
