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. Long and Short Brackets on Driver’s Side may need to be switched to avoid interference with exhaust hanger.
2. You may need to move mounting rail location +/- ½” to ensure frame brackets do not interfere with bed sills.
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.
