• Insert the 1 1/2” bolt tabs into the top slots on
bumper and 2” bolt tabs for the bottom slots.

in place. You can use a deep socket to help push
the retaining washers onto the bolt.

• Measure across from bracket to bracket to each
bolt slot and match the distance measured to the
bolts on the bumper. This will help to align the
bolts for and easier install.

• If you have a winch install it now with supplied
allen head bolts. Make sure to install the fairlead
bolts before you mount the winch.
• Install the bumper using the 1/2” hardware and
only tighten one nut per side for now.
• Square up the bumper to the body by measuring
from the top bumper surface to a point on the
body on both sides as well as side to side.
Note : Try to maintain a gap no less then 5/16” from
the body to the bumper. Reason is because the body
will hit the bumper from body fl ex and vibrations
while driving down the road.
