1. Assemble center section and side brackets (flanges out) with six 3/8" knurled bolts pointing outward. Install

six 3/8" lock washers and six 3/8" nuts. Leave nuts slightly loose on bolt at this time.

DAKOTA SHORT BED: If the truck has dual pipe exhaust, it may be necessary to lower the exhaust bracket to

clear the hitch bracket. It may also be necessary to loosen the spare tire and push it forward.

2. FOR 96-PRESENT: Align the brackets with the existing holes in the frame. Install hardware as shown

above.

3. FOR 86-95: Clamp the hitch against the frame. The large holes in the brackets are to clear the rivet on short

bed models. On long bed models, locate the rear hole 1" forward of the end of the frame flange.
