INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR SIERRA WRAP AROUND KIT # 295929

ON 2002-2006 DODGE RAM 1500

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: It is not necessary to remove the airdam in order
to modify it or install the kit. The following pictures
show the airdam removed for clarity only.

1. Cut notches in air dam for the Lower Mounting Brackets to
fit through. Cut 1/2” wide notches from the bottom of the
top lip of the air dam, cutting through the bottom lip of the
air dam. As shown below, the spacing of the notches is 16
3/16” from center to outside of notch. The best way to
measure the center of the air dam is to measure from the
License Plate mounting bolt holes. Find the center between
the holes, and mark it as your center of the air dam.

The 1/2” width of the notch does not allow any clearance
of the bracket that fits through it. You may need to trim it
slightly after you have the bracket installed, but you will
want the fit as tight as possible.

2. Remove factory bolt assembly and discard.

3. Use (2) 7/16” x 5” capscrews (Item #14) and (2) lock­nuts (Item #19) and (4) flat washers (Item #23) to
install lower mounting brackets (Item #8). Use the lower
bracket gasket (Item #28). They should be installed in
the order shown below.

To mount the Upper Mounting Bracket (Item #10),
remove the nut from the Bumper Bracket bolt of the vehi­cle. Slide the Upper Mounting Bracket and gasket (item
#29) onto the Bumper Bracket bolt and tighten the nut
back on.

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.

4. Install (1) 1/2” x 7 1/2” capscrews (Item #16), (1) lower
mount backing plate (Item #25), (2) flat washers (Item
#24), and (1) locknut (Item #20) to frame and lower
mounting bracket (Item #8).

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for right side.
