INSTALLATION STEPS
1) Slide the left and right frame brackets onto the hitch as shown. (Note: The bracket tube mount can be positioned
towards the front or rear to gain frame clearance or adjustability.)
2) Position and clamp the hitch to the frame rails so the receiver tube is centered on the vehicle. Position the face of
the receiver tube flush with the outward surface of the rear bumper to maximize clearance for accessories. See
frame type pictured for installation mounting.
3) Using the frame brackets as a template, drill 4 holes horizontally per side. If frame clearance permits, drill two
vertical holes per side for added clamping into the vehicles frame rails as shown. Use a 17/32" drill bit for all
mounting holes. (For weld on application no drilling is required.)
4) Fasten the frame brackets to the vehicle frame rails using the mounting hardware as pictured. Secure the brackets
in position at this time.
5) Center the hitch on the vehicle and clamp at both ends to prevent movement while drilling. Use two of the four
mounting holes in the bracket tubes, each side, for attachment. Drill 17/32" holes into cross tube using bracket
tubes as a template. (For weld on application no drilling is required.)
6) Fishwire a 1/2"-13 carriage bolt and CM-SP1 spacer into each hole in the main body as shown and secure with a
1/2" flange nut as shown.
7) Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
8) Note: The main body tube may be trimmed flush with the outside of the bracket tube mount. If trimmed flush,
coat bare metal with paint to prevent corrosion.
PERIODICALLY CHECK THIS RECEIVER HITCH TO ENSURE THAT ALL FASTENERS
ARE TIGHT AND THAT ALL STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS ARE SOUND.
