frame with 1/2” conical washers and nuts. Leave the bolts loose enough to center bracket on frame of truck.
NOTE; On some special frames all holes will have to be drilled as followed.
Loosely attach parts as noted in step 2. Clamp hitch to frame so the first and last hole in bracket is able to be used as drill guides to the frame.
2. Install the center section between the brackets as shown. Bolt through the center section and the brackets with 3/8” bolts, and 3/8” flange nuts. Use the holes shown.
Leave the nuts finger tight at this time. Some spare tire carriers may need to be modified if the hitch hits the carrier. NOTE: Be sure to use four holes to bolt the
brackets to the center section.
3. Using the hole in the bracket as a guide, drill a 1/2” diameter holes through the frame. Use the farthest front hole. Do this on both sides.
4. Insert 1/2” bolts with 1/4” bolt plates down through the frame and the bracket. Install 1/2” conical washers and nuts on the bolts.

First torque the 3/8" nuts to 35 ft•lb.
