DODGE ‘03 AND NEWER 2500 AND 3500 WITH OVERLOAD BRACKETS ( USE WITH 30035 KIT )

Optional weld

CAUTION!

Read pages 2-3 of 30035 instructions before starting installation. Failure todo so could result in significant vehicle damage!

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS INSTALLATION:

1. Tube spacers and 4” carriage bolts used to attach through rearward Bed Sill (Row 3).

2. **Rib neck bolts will need to be pulled through rearward access holes in frame with supplied pull wire (see below).

3. Do not drill thru both walls
of frame. Drill only thru wall of
frame to which bracket is
mounted.

4. It is very important that
brackets in Row 2 are against
rear side of Bed Sill as shown.
Due to dimensional instability
in Bed Sill placement with the
Dodge truck, interference
could result when drilling in
Row 3. Observe caution note
below and double check all
areas prior to drilling.

5. Rear brackets can be
mounted to frame with (2)

bolts in any combination
of the three bracket holes.

6. *Due to tubular frames
having thinner walls than
previous C channel frames,
extra caution needs to be
used when mounting with the
optional welding.

CAUTION!

Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.

TOWINGPRODUCTS does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer changes; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of

the installer to prevent damage due to installation.
