DODGE ’09 AND NEWER 1500 (WITHOUT FACTORY AIR SUSPENSION)
(16305 CUSTOM BRACKET KIT)
CAUTION!
Read pages 2-3 of these instructions before starting installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage!
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. Observe caution note below and double check all areas prior to drilling.
3. **Do not drill thru both walls of frame. Drill only thru wall of frame to which bracket is mounted.
4. ***It may be necessary to notch ends of bed sill in Row 3 to allow access to and the bolting down of mounting rail hardware.
5. ****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.
