I installed this yesterday and yes, the universal mount is a total pain. As plowdaddy said the slots to receive the U-bolts are off just enough that the bolts don't sit properly. I basically forced it on but now that the plate is installed I've noticed my turning radius is now restricted-I can't make sharp turns without rubbing up against the mounting plate because it's so wide. Anyone have success? Debating whether I should just spend the money for a new plate or try extensively modifying the universal one...
