CUSTOM TRUCK LOAD KING 25-92, Installation Manual

Page: 41 / 171

INSTALLATION
If L oad K ing currently manufactures a mounting
bracket appropriate for the truck you are mounting
the crane on, these should have been specified
during the order process and you will have
received them with your installation kit.
However, due to the variety of truck designs, it
maybe necessary to design and construct custom
bracketry to suit your vehicle.
Requirements of custom constructed bracketry:
- The mounting bolts for the jack require that
there be approximately 1 3/4 inches (45mm)of
clearance between the bumper and the rear of
your jack.
- Taking into account the clearance necessary
for mounting hardware, the jack should be
installed as closely as possible to the end of
the frame rails.
- When fully retracted, the foot of the jack
should have 12-15 inches (300-380mm) of
ground clearance.
- Clearance must also be provided for the truck
hood to swing into the open position.
- Attaching the brackets to the frame rails
should be done with no less than 4 GR8 5/8-
11 bolts per bracket
- Please refer to the Front Bumper Stabilizer
installation drawing for reference.
1. Remove the front bumper from the truck.
2. Trial fit the front bumper stabilizer brackets,
checking for clearance of frame rails and
bumper. Take into account the applicable
requirements listed for custom constructed
bracketry. These brackets should be directly
mounted to the frame rails.
3. After proper positioning has been established,
mount the bracketry for the front bumper stabi­
lizer to the frame rails.
4. Trial fit the front bumper, it may require signifi­
cant trimming to clear the new bracketry.
5. Mount the front bumper
6. Mount the front bumper stabilizer.
7. Route and connect front bumper stabilizer har­
ness and hoses per Front Bumper 0/R
Assembly and Electrical Schematics.

FRONT BUMPER STABILIZER INSTALLATION
DO NOT attach the front bumper stabilizer to the bumper itself. The front bumper stabi-
lizer jack MUST be attached to the truck frame rails. This will require adapter brackets
either procured from
Load King
or manufactured by the installer.
When routing hoses and wire harnesses:
a. Allow slack for any movement required when
the stabilizer is pivoted.
b. Avoiding any moving suspension compo-
nents.
c. When routing across an exposed edge of
metal, some type of edge protection should be
used to protect hoses and harnesses
