Hitch Shown In Proper Position

Equipment Required:

Wrenches: 18mm, 19mm

Drill Bits: None

Note: Existing bumper mounting bolts in vehicle frame, 3 each side, may come from the factory pointing inboard. For hitch installation,

bolts MUST be pointing outboard with the head of the bolt against the bumper mounting bracket. Do not remove all bolts at

once as this will cause the bumper to fall. Instead, bolts must be turned around one at a time to prevent bumper from falling.

1. Remove all nuts from existing bumper mounting bolts, 3 per side. Do not remove bolts yet.

2. If bumper mounting bolts are pointing inboard, turn bolts, one at a time so that bolts are pointing outboard. Leave flush with

outboard side of frame rails. This will support bumper mounting brackets and allow hitch to be installed on outboard side of

frame. If bolts are already pointing outboard, pull bolts out to just flush with outboard side of frame.

3. Raise hitch into position. Push bumper mounting bolts the rest of the way thru hitch brackets. Reinstall flange nuts removed in

step 1.

4. Install the rest of the bolts as shown above.
