another person help place the assemble onto frame rails.
Take great care to avoid damage to the bumper and your
vehicle when placing onto the front rails. Move bumper into
the correct location for bolts.

spacers to adjust the height of the bumper to your
desired location. The small single hole spacer is to be

hole and one slot spacer is for the top mounting location.
