INSTALLATION STEPS
1)Remove all but a thin layer of undercoating from attaching surfaces. Also, grind or chisel off small aluminum
rivet heads if present on attaching surface. This will ensure side brackets will sit flat against the frame.
2)For vehicles equipped with frame mounted, closed sided, steel skid shield:
A. Remove the rear skid shield mounting bolt and loosen the forward skid shield mounting bolt on each side
so that the skid shield is lowered about 1/4". NOTE: DO NOT remove the forward mounting bolt at this time
or the skid shield will come off.
B. Raise the hitch into position, putting the receiver flange between the frame and the skid shield.
C. Install four M12 bolts and conical washers on each side as shown.
D. Remove the forward skid shield mounting bolts. Place two 1/2" flat washers as spacers between the frame
and the skid shield and reinstall the existing M12 fastener.
-For vehicles equipped with frame mounted tow hook bracket on driver's side:
A. Remove the tow hook and the tow hook bracket. Mount the driver and passenger sides as shown.
-For vehicles NOT equipped with frame mounted, closed sided, steel skid shield or frame mounted tow hook:
A. Fishwire the square hole spacers, round spacers and the 1/2" X 1 3/4" carriage bolts through the end of the
frame and into existing holes. Leave the fishwires attached to the carriage bolts until the 1/2" Flange Nuts are
installed. This allows the bolts to be pulled through the receiver after it has been positioned around the fuel tank.
NOTE: Removal of bumper may ease the fishwiring process
3)Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 75 lb.-ft. and all M12 fasteners to 68 lb.-ft.
PERIODICALLY CHECK THIS RECEIVER HITCH TO ENSURE THAT ALL FASTENERS
ARE TIGHT AND THAT ALL STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS ARE SOUND.
