PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING IS REQUIRED. ASSISTANCE IS
RECOMMENDED.
2. Starting at the underside of the front bumper, carefully remove the plastic splash guard. NOTE: Depending
on the model of truck, the splash guard may be attached to the bottom of the truck with hex bolts and
several two-piece plastic push-in clips. Remove all hex bolts then locate the clips behind the bumper cover,
(Figure 1A). Pry up on the center pin of the clip with a small flat blade screwdriver and remove the entire
clip, (Figure 1B). Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for reinstallation. The
splash guard may also be attached to the bumper cover with rivets at the corners. Use wire cutters to
remove the rivets. Once all fasteners have been removed, move splash guard to a clean stable work area.
3. Next, determine if the truck is equipped with tow hooks.
For models without tow hooks:
a. Remove the hex nuts from the two lower factory bumper bolts, (Figure 2).
b. Select (1) Frame Bracket, (will fit left or right-without tow hooks only), and the driver side Mounting
Bracket, (Figure 3). Bolt the two Brackets together with (2) 12mm Flat Washers, (2) 12mm Lock
Washers and (2) 12mm Hex Nuts. Snug the hardware but do not tighten at this time.
