Thanks for all of the replies.
I haven't tightened the bolts until it was in the hitch, but even before I tightened them - it was impossible to pull out as a unit.
I did have a bit of a defective U-Connector though. One of them had too tight of a radius and would not sit flush on the upper tube. Long story short - I think this is causing some torque to be applied between the two tubes and the receiver to lock it in place.
I've discussed it with Torklift and sent them some pictures and they got right back to me that they are going to send me a new u-connector and shim plates. Hopefully when they arrive it should solve the issue.
Once I get them I'll post back how it turns out. I'm also thinking that perhaps it would be easier to remove once its used a time or two and "broken in" with rubbing off some of the paint?
