The aftermarket receiver that I have has six mounting points, three on each side. You'll need the mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, lockwashers and spacers). One type of spacers (~1/2" thick plates) is used between the receiver mounting surface and the lower frame rail to clear the rivets. The other type of spacer (~4" long) is used between the frame rails for the middle mounting points on each side since bolts run thru both the lower and upper rail whereas the fro and aft mounting bolts on each side of the receiver just mounts to the lower frame rail.
