>From what I've seen, all that's neccessary is to drill 2 holes per hook in
the frame and bolt it up, the only hard part is making sure the holes are
lined up correctly, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes per hook,
the only problem you might encounter is finding room on the front to put
one, there usually isn't much empty frame rail there to work with,
might have to bolt it to the frame crossmember up front, it's a cinch on
the back though, lots of frame to work with.
