ATTENTION INSTALLER
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
Additional modifications may be necessary
to re-install the front bumper to the reinforced
chassis. Once installed, the Chassis Plates
(A & B) increase the overall width of the
chassis rail, which may prevent the bumper
mounting brackets from fitting as intended.
Z Review each of the following options BEFORE
determining the best configuration for your applica-
tion.
Z TRIAL FIT the parts to familiarize yourself with any
installation complications.
Z OPTION 3 requires pre-installation modifications
to the Outer Chassis Plate, and is only suggested
if OPTIONS 1 & 2 are not possible.
