1. Remove the four 15mm bolts (2 per side) that hold on the OEM tow hooks. (Fig C)

2. Choose which lower bracket to install.

a. There are two options for lower brackets; lifted and non-lifted.  

b. If your vehicle has a drop bracket lift, you must use the mount labeled as “A” in Fig D. If your vehicle does not have a drop bracket lift, then use the mount labeled as “B” in Fig D.  

3. If your vehicle has a drop bracket lift, please follow this step, otherwise, skip to Step 4.

a. Unbolt the top two lift bracket bolts. (Fig E)

b. Bolt the lower bracket to the frame using the bolts you just removed in Step 3b. (Fig F)

4. If your vehicle does not have a drop bracket lift, please follow this step.

a. If you have the winch option on your bumper, it is highly recommended to drill out the frame horns to accept 4 mounting bolts per side. (Fig I) In order to do this, hold the bumper in place (a second person will come in handy for this step), mark the remaining two holes per side, then drill through the newly marked frame horns with a 1/2” drill bit.  

b. Hold the bumper in place and loosely install the supplied 1/2” Bolts (either 4 or 8), 1/2” washers (either 8 or 16), and 1/2” Lock Nuts (either 4 or 8). The outer mounting bolts can be accessed through the toolbox openings. (Fig J)
