Expert Reply:
While it is best to reinstall so that you return your vehicle closer to it's original configuration, it's not required. It could affect your warranty if not reinstalled so that is an important consideration.
Installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76271 that you purchased will require some cutting as described in the installation video around 8:10.
