to the vehicle. Gently pull the factory bracket down and slide the driver side rear Support

mounting holes and secure with the supplied (2) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock
Washers and (2) 8mm Flat Washers, (Figure 4B). Do not tighten hardware at this time. Line

to the front and rear Mounting Brackets using the included (2) 1/2” x 2” Hex Bolts, (2) 1/2” Lock
