INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. Locate Bumper Plate Assemblies (8 & 9).

Bumper Plates should have a 1”overhang from

the bumper. The Driver side or the pivot side

will have a three piece system that will act as

the hinge for the spreader. Attach Pivot Weld

(3), Post (4) and Bushing (5) to the Bumper

Plate (8) using the post as a centering guide.

The right side will have a two-piece system that

will be the latching side. Attach Post (4) to

Bumper Plate (9). Line up with the Rail Plates

(1 & 2). Be sure that the tailgate will open before

locating any of these brackets permanently.

Make sure bumper brackets are parallel to the

lower main frame so that everything will be

straight. After aligning all pieces, mark & drill

(8) 7/16” holes using the bumper plates as a

guide. Once holes have been drilled, bolt

securely to bumper using Bolt C 3/8-16 x 1-1/2

(12), 3/8 Lockwasher (17) and 3/8 Finish Nut

(16). Do not tighten at this time.

B. Fasten Restrictor Cable (24) to Bumper Plate

(8) using Bolt H 3/16 x 1-1/4” (11), 3/8 Flatwasher

(18), 3/8 oversize Flatwasher (23) and 3/8” Finish

Nut (16).

C. Locate Rail Plates (1 & 2) mark & drill holes

using the Rail Plates (1 & 2) as a guide. Scribe

and drill (4) 7/16” holes and fasten Rail Plates

Finish Nut (16), 3/8 Flatwasher (18) and 3/8

D. With the lower Bumper Plate Assemblies (8 & 9)

and Rail Plates (1 & 2) properly mounted, check

both the Pivot Weld (3) and Post (4) to see if

these need to be cut down. Due to the variety of

truck bumpers, bed rail heights, etc. These two

parts are made intentionally too long. Install the

Pivot Weld (3), Post (4) and Bushing (5) using

the Top Guide (6) with Bolt H 3/8-16 x 1-1/4” (11),

3/8 Flatwasher (18) and 3/8 -18 Finish Nut (16).

and 3/8 Finish Nut (16).
