Notice

Ramsey kits are designed for use with Ramsey Winches only.

Use or sale of kits for other winches or applications voids warranty.

Warning

Ramsey offers mounting kits and winches for various vehicles. In crash tests on a limited number of automotive
manufacturer’s vehicles, winches/mounting kits, which have been properly mounted, have not interfered with air bag
operation.

The user/customer, or their installer, must verify that the mounting kit does not interfere with the factory air bag sen­sors, which must not be relocated or modified in any way.

The user/customer should follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and those of a qualified mechanic to
determine if the winching/mounting kit might interfere with the air bag operation. The user/customer should then
determine the suitability of a winch/mounting kit on a particular vehicle.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE’S AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IF THE
WINCH/MOUNTING KIT IS NOT MOUNTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMEN­DATIONS.

DO NOT ATTACH TOW HOOK TO ANY PART OF MOUNTING KIT UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ATTACHING HARDWARE ITEMS (BOLTS, NUTS, OR WASHERS).

READ AND UNDERSTAND WINCH OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE WINCH.
SEE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN WINCH OWNER’S MANUAL.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

1. RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DIRECTIONS AS IF SEATED BEHIND STEERING WHEEL.

2. ALL FASTENING HARDWARE MUST BE LOOSELY ASSEMBLED UNTIL DIRECTED TO TIGHTEN.

Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a
diesel engine, raise hood and remove (2)

bolts on the oil cooler. It will be necessary to
lift cooler to allow access to frame and bumper
bolts in the next steps.

If vehicle is not diesel, proceed to step #1.

Note: It is not necessary to remove the airdam in order to modify it or
install the kit.

1. Cut notches in air dam for the Mounting Arms to fit through. Cut 1 3/4” wide
notches from the bottom of the air dam, cutting through the bottom lip of the
air dam. Cut the notches to within 3/16” of the top of the air dam. Do not cut
all the way through the air dam. As shown below, the spacing of the notches
is 18 5/16” from center to outside of notch. One of the clips that holds the air
dam to the bumper should be at the center of the air dam, use it to measure.

The 1 3/4” width of the notch does not allow any clearance of the arm that
fits through it. You may need to trim it slightly after you have the arm
installed, but you will want the fit as tight as possible.

It is a good idea to install the mounting bracket assembly
entirely on one side, then start on the other. Install bolts

loosely—do not tighten until told to do so.

2. Loosen and remove factory bolt assembly nuts. Figure at
right is view from under vehicle looking up at frame. The
bolt assembly points away from vehicle frame.

3. If vehicle is diesel, push oil cooler up to access factory
bolt assembly (see figure at right).

Remove factory bolt assembly and install bolt assembly
through mounting arm (item #6) then vehicle frame.
Tighten nuts on bolt assembly according to Torque Value
Chart on page 6.

Repeat for the left side.
