Installation
1. REMOVE OE SKID PLATE
Determine if vehicle is equipped with a factory
transfer case skid plate. Continue with next step
if equipped, otherwise skip to section 2.
Support the skid plate and remove the bolts
that attach it to the OE crossmember and
chassis rail.
Remove the transfer case skid plate from
vehicle. Discard skid plate and hardware.
2. REMOVE OE CROSSMEMBER
Remove the four (4) nuts that attach the OE
crossmember to the rubber support cushion.
Retain the nuts for reinstallation.
Position a hydraulic jack in a safe location
beneath the transmission. Carefully raise the
jack until the crossmember is completely
relieved of the drivetrain load, and support the
transmission with a jack stand.
With the drivetrain safely secured, support the
crossmember and remove the nuts and bolts
that attach it to the chassis rails.
Remove the OE crossmember from vehicle and
discard, but retain the original hardware.
