1. It is recommended to remove the bumper for this
installation.
2. Remove the two Add-On Bracket bolts and one
lower-front bumper bolt and install the DS Sideplate
(2) in its place. Use longer bolts if existing bolts are
too short. Secure these bolts with the proper size
nuts required. Add On Bracket will not be re-used.
3. At the bottom of the sideplate, mark and drill open
one hole from the frame and install one 1/2" bolt and
nut. A nut on a stick is provided to help maneuver the
bolt alignment. This stick may have to be bent and
twisted in order to match the holes you just drilled.
4. Repeat step 2-3 for the passenger side Sideplate (1).
5. Install the Pushbar (3) onto the two Sidplate
(1,2) installed earlier using 8 bolts (7) and nuts (11)
provided. Measure the Pushbar to about 11 inches
from the level Floor (see Fig. 3).
6. Temporarily, lower the swaybar from the bottom of
the truck. Install the Swaybar Bracket (4) and re-attach
the swaybar into place like a sandwich. Make sure to
insert the Swaybar Spacer (6) up against the rubber
toward the frame. Secure it with two new metric bolts
(10). Connect the Rear Brace (5) to the Pushbar (3)
and the Swaybar Bracket (4). Loosely, secure them
together with four 1/2" fasteners.
7. Repeat Step number 6 for the PS Rear Brace Arm (4).
8. Torque all fasteners as shown in the chart. Check
and re-torque all fasteners after 5 hours of usage to
ensure safe plow operation. Ensure all coolant lines
and wires are clear from moving or hot components.
