1.) Lower spare tire using the vehicle service tools located in the cab of the truck. Loosen
the spare tire support bracket by removing (2) bolts with a 13mm socket by the spare
winch. Remove the 2 bolts from the factory hitch or cross member and transfer the (2)
clip nuts onto the spare tire support bracket.
2.) Remove (4) bolts securing the factory cross member or hitch to the frame rail with a
21mm socket. Set hardware aside for reuse during CURT hitch installation.

underneath.
3.) Check to be sure that all wiring clears and slowly pull factory cross member or hitch
downward and remove from vehicle. Clean weldnuts as needed with lubricant and
brush. Replace with CURT hitch, which will mount in the space between the frame and
the bumper mounting plates.
4.) Using the existing mounting hardware, attach the bottom mounting bolts (2 places each
side) and loosely secure so that bumper placement adjustments can be made. Adjust
bumper position to align with side mounting holes and secure remaining (4) bolts with a
21mm socket.
5.) Torque all M14 bolts to 126 ft-lbs.
6.) Reinstall all bolts loosened / removed in step 1. Raise the spare tire back into position.
