1.
Lower the exhaust by removing 5 rubber isolators (2 on each muffler and 1 in the center of the exhaust).
Remove the passenger side muffler by removing the (2) flange nuts attaching it to the exhaust pipe with a
14mm socket. (see Rubber Isolator Removal Diagram on page 1)
2.
Remove the rearward most screw in the heat shields on the frame rail. Measure 5” forward on the heat
shield and make a 1.25” hole in line with the screw hole (both heat shields). Flattening the heat shield
around the screw that was removed will aid in installing the forward most flange nuts.
3.
Raise hitch into position aligning it with the hole in the frame rail seen under the trimmed section of heat
shield. Use the hitch to mark the rearward most mounting holes. Remove hitch and using a ½” drill bit, drill
the marked locations and enlarge to reverse fishwire hardware in both frame rails.
4.
Reverse
f
ishwire the 1 1/2" long carriage bolts and spacers through the holes drilled in step 3. Then
reverse Fishwire the remaining 1" short carriage bolts and spacers into the forward most mounting slots.
(See Fishwire technique)
5. Raise the hitch into position with care not to push the fasteners back into the frame rail and loosely secure
with the supplied hex flange nuts.
