New Hitch...

Went and bought a round tube class 3 hitch today at Uhaul for $140 out the door... Its rated at 6000lbs or 10000lbs with a wdh... I got it home and realized that it was going to require drilling holes in the frame for installation, which took a little longer than I expected but for the money it sure looks like a great hitch!! Anyone know if I should have used locktite on the bolts?? The directions didnt say anything about it but it didnt come with lock washers so I am concerned about them coming loose over time...

I figure another $50 for the 7 pin adapter and another $100 for a prodigy brake controller and I will be in buisness!

I didn't use lock tite when I mounted my class 4 hitch on my truck. However, I did use the nylock nuts and lock washers. Just make sure the bolts are grade 8.
I don't have any pics but can take some if you're interested in seeing it.
