Note: Lowering spare tire may ease hitch installation.
1. Lower exhaust by removing rubber exhaust hangers from exhaust hanger bracket. On models with dual exhaust, do this on
both sides of vehicle.
2. Remove forwardmost M12 bolt which attaches bumper bracket to vehicle frame, one per side, and discard.
3. On vehicles with wiring harness present on driver’s side frame rail, it will be necessary to detach harness by carefully pulling
it from frame. Frame will be relocated after hitch installation.

each side as shown in Figure 1.
Note: Refer to Figure 2 for proper fishwire technique.
5. Raise hitch into position being careful not to push bolts installed in Step 4 back into frame.
Note: Flat washer MUST be placed between hitch side bracket and frame at this attaching point, typical both sides (see
Figure 1). Loosely install conical washers and nuts to hold hitch in place.

replace bolts removed in Step 2.
7. Fishwire ½” carriage bolts and blocks through access hole in vehicle frame and into holes in side of vehicle frame rail, two
per side, as shown in Figure 1.
