Installation Instructions
1. Read the General Instruction Sheet included

with this package.

2. Most vehicle bumpers are NOT suitable

for towing without modification and

reinforcement. These brackets should never

be attached over rubber or plastic. The

mounting brackets should be attached metal

to metal and to a flat surface. The bumper

and the bumper bracket may need to be

reinforced. If you are not sure, consult a

skilled hitch mechanic.

3. Locate the center of your bumper and

measure out 10-9/16” to either side. From the

center of that mark measure over 21-1/8” to

the opposite side. Using the inside holes of

the adapter plate as a template, drill 17/32”

holes at the marked points.

4. Attach the adapter to the bumper using the

inside bracket holes and the holes drilled in

step 3.

5. Drill 17/32” holes in the bumper for the

outer bracket holes, using the bracket as a

template.

6. Finish installing the brackets. NOTE: IF

THE BUMPER SHOULD HAVE A TUBE

BEHIND IT, DRILL THROUGH BOTH AND

USE THE LONGER BOLTS PROVIDED. IF

USING AN “A” FRAME TOW BAR, CHECK

THAT IT MOVES FREELY UP AND DOWN

BEFORE FINAL TIGHTENING.

BE SURE TO

USE LOCTITE® ON ALL BOLTS BEFORE

TIGHTENING. TORQUE ALL BOLTS

ACCORDING TO TORQUE CHART IN

GENERAL INSTRUCTION SHEET.

7. Install the tow bar and safety cables

according to the instructions included in their

packages.

8. Do not substitute other devices if the pin and

clip are lost.
