GENERAL NOTES:
• These instructions are also available on our website; www.synergymfg.com.
Check the website before you begin for any updated instructions and additional
photos for your reference.
• The Polyperformance JK rear bumper system is a bolt on installation; it does
require drilling two holes on diver side frame rail.
1. Remove the spare tire and mount if you are installing the Poly Performance spare
tire swing out.
2. Remove the stock rear bumper, retain the stock side mounting bolts, the 4 bolts
will be reused. See Figure 1
Figure 1
3. Remove the stock tow hook from the passenger side frame rail if equipped.
4. If equipped with a stock receiver hitch, it can remain installed or it can be
removed for installation of the optional license plate skid plate.
5. Remove the stock license plate and mounting bracket from the tub. The new
bumper relocates the license plate and includes two new license plate lights.

6. When removing the stock license plate mount, locate the wire for the license plate
light. The wire will need to be lengthened and spliced into the new license plate
lights prior to installing in the bumper.
7. With all the stock bumper components removed, locate the two holes on the
bottom of the passenger side frame rail that once held the tow hook in place. You
will need to drill holes in the driver side frame rail identical to the ones in the
passenger side. Measure the hole locations on the passenger side and transfer the
hole locations to the bottom of the driver side frame rail.
8. With the hole locations marked, drill the two holes with at least a 1/2” drill bit; a
slightly larger bit may be used to get the correct alignment. Do not exceed 5/8”
hole size.
9. Install the bumper mounting plates into each side of the frame rail as pictured in
Figure 2 and 3.
