Step 13: Very carefully close the bumper and watch for tire carrier clearance over top of the
bumper. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the top of the bumper.
Step 14: Adjust the height of the tire carrier by tightening or loosening the (2) 1/2” pinch
bolts on the pivot shaft. (Tightening = Higher / Loosening = Lower) Adjust the tire carrier
so it swings smoothly and latches correctly. The latch can also be adjusted by inserting the
supplied shims (90-5658) as well. Check that the tire carrier lock out mechanism fits prop-
erly into the lockout stop on the bumper by carefully swinging it backward. Once the lock-
out mechanism is aligned properly, tighten the (3) previously installed 1/2” bolts. (Fig. C)
IMPORTANT!: Over-tightening the pinch bolts will not allow the tire carrier to swing
freely.
Step 15: Once proper fitment is achieved install the nylon washer and snap ring onto the
pivot shaft. Install the Zerk fitting (90-4217) into the top of the pivot shaft (93-2997). (Fig.
C) NOTE: Do not over tighten the Zerk fitting.
