WARNING
Read pages 2 - 4 of this installation manual before beginning the
installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage.
Check for obstructions prior to drilling. Failure to do so could result in
damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.
CURT does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer
changes. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer
to prevent damage due to installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Find parallel rows of bed sill spot welds in the bed of the truck.
No drilling should be done in the ~4" between parallel rows
of spot welds where the bed sill sits.
Cut 1" from the top flange of the brackets.
Under bed mounting brackets with flanges facing out.
Put the rear brackets on row 3 for models 97 to current.
Put brackets on row 4 for models 96 and earlier.
