DODGE ’09 AND NEWER 1500, INCLUDING MEGA/CREWCAB
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS INSTALLATION:
1. **Rib neck bolts will need to be pulled through access holes in frame with supplied pull wire (see below).
2. Do not drill thru both wall of
frame. Drill only thru wall of
frame to which bracket is
mounted.
3. 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.
4. *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.
CURT MANUFACTURING does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer changes; however, it is ultimately the
responsibility of the installer to prevent damage due to installation.
