Yes you would have to drop the hitch to install the skid.
Did you see the post I had earlier about Zip Ties?
If your hitch has the oval 4th holes, one on both sides, pull the center bolt out and fish a zip tie in through those holes. pull out the other 4 bolts and cut one zip tie, (Floor jack under the receiver part is handy) and lower the hitch.
Use zip ties again for the skid and raise the hitch up and get one bolt started. the one on the otherside. If hole on skid don't line up all the way (mine didn't with a OEM skid) just muscle it in and start the bolts. Get 2 on each side started and cut zip ties and start the last 2 bolts. tighten to specs and have fun.
Last tip, remove the wire harness from the hitch before dropping it. Hitch will put a strain on it of pull it out as it drops from the weight.
