PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.

2. Start installation from under the front of the vehicle. Remove the plastic splash guard, (Figure 1).
NOTE: Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for reinstallation.

3. Locate the mounting area on the driver side of the crossmember, (Figure 2). Insert (1) 12mm x 100mm

Hex Bolt with (1) 12mm x 32mm STD Flat Washer into and down through the round holes in the
crossmember, (Figures 3 & 4). Select the driver side Mounting Bracket. Hold the Bracket up in position
against the bottom of the crossmember and over the Hex Bolt. Attach the Bracket to the Hex Bolt with
(1) 12mm x 32mm STD Flat Washer and (1) 12mm Nylon Lock Nut, (Figures 4 & 5). Leave hardware
loose at this time.

4. Line up the bent outer tab on the Bracket with the hole in the factory bracket welded to the
crossmember. Bolt the Bracket to the tab with (1) 10mm x 30mm Hex Bolt, (2) 10mm Flat Washers and
(1) 10mm Nylon Lock Nut, (Figures 5 & 6). Fully tighten the 10mm hardware first and then tighten the
12mm hardware on the Bracket. IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the 12mm Hex Bolt going through
the crossmember. Damage to the crossmember could result.
