INSTALLATION STEPS
NOTE: BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL THIS HITCH, LOWER AND REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE FROM ITS
STORAGE LOCATION. THIS WILL ALLOW MORE ROOM FOR EASIER HITCH INSTALLATION
REINSTALL SPARE TIRE AFTER HITCH IS INSTALLED.
1. At the end of each truck side frame will be a slot. If the truck is equipped with a GM Factory installed bumper,
there will be a 12mm bolt from each frame location. If no bumper is installed, you will only see a slot in each
frame end. Use CM-SP1 and M12-1.75 hex nut.
2. Position the hitch assembly up against the bottom of the truck side frame so that the rearmost hole in each hitch
frame bracket is aligned with the slots in the end of vehicle frame.
3. Bolt hitch assembly to truck frame at center attachment point using the existing hole in each side frame.
4. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 75 ft-lbs and M12 fasteners to 59 ft-lbs.
5. Reinstall spare tire when done.
