 10. On each side, remove two 10mm (head) bolts attaching the radiator support to the frame (Fig.N — driver's side). Care-
fully let it hang down for now, or clamp it on a couple of inches back from where it was originally.
 11. On each side, push the radiator support out of the way and drill a ½" hole up through the pre-existing hole in the bot-
tom and the top of the subframe (Fig.O).

 12. On each side, place the supplied shim plate on top of the bumper core so that the bend is facing down and so it fits 
into the bumper profile and place the U bolt over the bumper core and through the shim plate (Fig.P).

 13. On each side, place the main receiver brace under 
the bumper core and over the U bolts and then thread on 
the ½" two-way locknuts (Fig.Q).

 Note:

 the two-way lock-

nuts have a dimple on the side and are self-locking. 

Note: 

ensure that wiring looms are not being pinched between 
the bracket and frame.
 14. On each side, place a ½" flat washer over a ½" x 
4" bolt and bolt down through the subframe and main 
receiver brace. Finish with a ½" lock washer and nut 
(Fig.R). 

Note:

 due to manufacturing variances, some 

applications may require bolting up through the main 
receiver brace and subframe instead.
