1. Adjust kit tire carrier.
NOTE
In the step below it may be necessary, depending on
your wheel and tire combination, to slightly align the
tire carrier so that it hits above the striker plate cup.
This is to allow for tire weight and tire carrier flex.
a. Align the kit tire carrier with the striker plate.
Check to see if kit tire carrier closes and align-
ment is correct. If the alignment is not correct
loosen and adjust the kit hinge plate. Once
alignment is achieved tighten hinge bolts, tail-
gate bolts, and kit bracket bolts.

and sport bar back to its original location.
