Jedi mind trick or other helpful advice needed. I've been trying to install a mopar fuel tank skid with my curt class 3 hitch and just cant seem to get them in.Elbow grease, check.multiple jacks and stands, check.Did anyone with a curt class 3 have to bend the portion of the skid closest to the receiver?They just do not want to seem to go in there together! :evil: And tips tricks or experience with these two specific parts would be helpful. Thanks :mrgreen

Hmmm, they should play well together. I don't see any reason the tank skid can't just be sandwiched between the frame rail and the Curt hitch. Unless the hitch mounting points are too close together - which would mean the hitch's bolt holes won't line up with the weld nuts in the frame.

Maybe someone else will join in...

Lay the skid upside down on the ground
now
slide the hitch down over it and see where it hits or if the holes line up
report back
