Need Help Installing Hitch

I just got the factory hitch for a 2007 GX 470 from Lexus - Part #PT228-60540. Need help with installing. Do you use the shims that came with the hitch there are two 1/2" shims that look like they go on the front of the hitch and there are two 2/16" shims that go on the back left and right. Where do you relocate the wire harness I see that there is a bracket that came with the hitch where does this bolt to? Thanks.

Joe

Do you have these instructions?

I just did it a few weekends ago, pretty straightforward following these directions.

I was just planing to write the same

. I also installed it last weekend without any problems (I could not remove plastic fastener to loosen air suspension cover in B5, but you can screw it the bolt by slightly pushing cover to the side).
