Today we are going to install part number 87719 from Hidden Hitch. On our 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. This also applies to part number from Draw Tite 75305. Our first step to install is to remove a few bolts. Starting with these 3 bolts in the shackle. You take out the 2 bolts on the outside and then finally the center bolt. Then behind here the first bolt behind it. We need to take this bolt out of there as well. All of this hardware will be reused. The next step is to go ahead and install the hitch. This is a good point to get a second pair of hands. You will have to wiggle it within the hitch itself then bring it back to the rear of the vehicle. We have the hitch hung by one bolt on each side to hold it up. Next we will snug that bolt down and watch the hitch wrap around that center bolt. Sometimes it helps to snug that bolt down and it pops around the center bolt.

Once you have that done you can get your outer bolt installed. After you get the hole lined up you can go ahead and install your other bolt. Once you get done moving the hitch around the way you want it just make sure this edge is sitting around the washer here. If you can feel the edge make sure it is the edge of the hitch is flush and sitting on top of the spring hanger. There should not be any sort of opening there what so ever. The next step is to insert these spacer plates that go in between the hitch and the frame. The factory bolt is going to be put back in. Sometimes this does not line up. It actually flexes pretty easy at this part. Once they are lined up and ready to go we can snug them up and do the same for both sides. Next we can get ready for the final torque. That takes care of our install of part number 87719 on a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country.
