Installation Instructions:
Note: I installed the spare tire carrier with the Tailgate Reinforcement Kit installed, but the installation instructions are
the same if installed directly to the tailgate
1. Use large wrench and lug key(s) to remove spare tire from factory mount and set spare tire aside

2. Open tailgate to expose back of 3rd brake light riser arm and remove 3rd brake light assembly - remove
assembly by removing four (4) bolts behind riser arm with T-20 TORX bit and driver, unplug grey quick connect
from light by depressing the tab on the connector and pulling from the light assembly, and set light assembly
aside

3. Weave 3rd brake light cable through factory spare tire mount and let hang from port in tailgate

4. With tailgate closed, use socket wrench and 1/2 socket to remove all eight (8) bolts holding the factory spare
tire carrier to the tailgate and remove tire carrier (Note: It may be necessary to remove other accessories like CB
radio antenna mounts at this point. Also, if installing with the Tailgate Reinforcement Kit, it is good practice to
loosen the bolts connecting the reinforcement frame to the heavy duty hinges.)

5. Using 4 mm hex head wrench and 7/16 socket / wrench, attach aftermarket 3rd brake light riser base (smaller

piece) to aftermarket spare tire carrier with three (3) bolts / nuts included with the kit (Note: Enough washers
are provided to install a washer on both the bolt head and nut side)
