BEFORE YOU BEGIN
IMPORTANT: The Poison Spyder Customs

BFH™Rear Bumper comes as unpainted, bare

steel. You will want to either powder coat or paint

the bumper prior to final installation, however it is

recommended to completely install and remove

the bumper prior to painting or powder coating it.

This will allow you to check for fitment or do any

clearancing or fitting ahead of time, to reduce

the chance of damage to the finish during final

installation. Poison Spyder Customs Inc. is not

responsible for costs for or damage to paint or

powder coat finish under any circumstances,

including paint or powder coat of incorrectly

shipped or defective parts.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park the Jeep on a
flat, level surface and

set the parking brake.

2. Remove existing rear bumper. If it is

the stock bumper (TJ only), use a T27

Torx driver to remove the plastic bumper

extensions, then use an 18mm socket and

ratchet remove the M10 bolts from the frame

rail side brackets and along the bottom of the

bumper. Keep the OE M10 hardware as it

will be re-used.

3. Install the BFH™ bumper. The bolts in

the captured bolt plates will align with the

mounting holes in the Jeep’s frame/bumper

brackets. The Bolt plates are captured in

horizontal slots to allow for some adjustment

and manufacturing variances in the Jeep’s

frame. Install the provided 3/8-16 nylon

insert lock nuts and 3/8 flat washers on to

the threaded studs of the Bolt Plates, where

they protrude through the Jeep’s mounting

bracket. Do not fully tighten them at this time.

NOTE: If the shackle tab recovery points are to

be used at any time, it is highly recommended to

install the TJ Rear Bumper Brace Kit, available

separately from Poison Spyder (p/n 14-61-710),

at this time. Instructions for its installation are

included with that kit.
4. (TJ only) Use two (2) of the 10mm OE

mounting bolts (18mm wrench size) to bolt

through the slots located along the underside

of the bumper into the OE welded-in-place

nuts inside the rear crossmember. Do not

fully tighten them at this time.

5. With all hardware installed, check that the

bumper is level and correctly aligned with the

Jeep, as the slots in the Bolt Plates will allow

for a small amount of adjustment. It may be

easiest to slightly tighten each of the bolts

then use a soft dead blow hammer or rubber
