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) - Type A - 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. (fishwire blocks and spacers through end of frame rail
if weld nuts are not present, may require loosening of bumper bolts)
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.
- Type B - 1997 and newer vehicals with frame mounted, closed sided, steel skid shield:
A. Remove the rear skid shield bolts on both side, and drill hole through skid shield.
NOTE: be careful not to damage weld nuts in frame rails.
B. Raise hitch into position placing hitch over the skid shield flanges and install the existing (4) M12 fasteners.
- Type C - 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.
- Type D - 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 positione 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.
