NOTES:
- If there is access to put the bolt and spacer into the frame rail from the end there will be no need for drilling. Some
vehicles have different tie down hooks that allow access to frame rail ends.
- If your vehicle is equipped with an exhaust vibration dampener that interferes with the side plate, bend or pry the
dampener away from the side plate as needed.
1) Using the fishwire, pull carriage bolts and square hole spacers through the previously enlarged frame rail holes
or frame rail ends, (depending upon model year) and into position.
2) Place spacer over bolt on passenger side and raise hitch into position. Hand tighten the fasteners.
3) Fishwire the remaining fasteners into position and secure with conical toothed washers and hex nuts as shown.
4) Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
