I remember something about having to install the hitch first or something like that

Jason, if you're installing a different trailer hitch, then yes, that needs to go on first.
Check out your tail pipe with regard to fit of the bumper before you bolt anything. Mine was up into the bumper. It had to be cut. That may or may not need to be done before assembly if it gets into the bumper.
You'll need to detach those wide plastic pieces that wrap around the lower rear and cut them per pattern. Layton did mine thankfully.
The bumper is heavy as hell. You'll need help. The actual bolting on is pretty straightforward. There are a couple of square "cups" that fit in the bumper that align with the holes. The nuts will be inside of these after tightening down the bolts.
The swingout builds separately. It's easy, although you'll probably do a few adjustments before it's right. The spindle needs to be assembled and you'll need plenty of grease. It took awhile to get the rings with the bearings to seat properly.
i got the expedition one quick-release hitch, which can be installed whenever
thanks Will. i got the all pro off, trimmed the exhaust out of the way and will figure out what to do with it after i have the bumper on, i have a flat cart lift that i use for my tube doors so i'll use that on friday to help me put the bumper on, layton is coming saturday morning to help with the swing-out. im ready!
Sounds like you have the master and the plan! 
Jason,
Where are you and Layton doing the install? What time on Saturday? If it's not too early, I can come and lend a not-too-talented hand. Not that kind of hand.

Will, that would be awesome man. We're going to do it sometime Sat morning. Not sure what time layton will be here, but text me in the morning if you want to come and i'll give you a estimated time and my address.
Can't help Sat but if you guys are still needing a hand on Sun, I can come by and lend a hand.
it'll be done. maybe even by tonight if i get it soon enough haha
