No cutting, but only remove a pin and move my hook by two links. My umbilical cord was wrapped around my tongue jack, so I re-routed it too. I now have 3 3/4"s clearance for my tail gate. My original shank did not completely go through my receiver, but the new one does by about a 1/4". Next trip will most likely be in December.
