You have to slide the cross member into the rails from the rear. You will have to remove the hitch and the bumper for that to happen. I doubt you will spread the rails enough for it to 'drop' in.
Cut the bolts in the hitch, it will save hours of frustration. Box bolts, the best you can do is to keep spraying repeatedly in the cross members and cross your fingers. When you get the box bolts out, run a tap into all of the holes before you put the box back on. Buy new bolts for the box, that is the best route to take, once the threads get filled with rust it's a losing battle.
