IMPORANT NOTE:
It is highly recommended that front “helper springs”, “air shocks”, or other similar devices 
be installed onto this vehicle to prevent the front suspension from “bottoming out” while 
carrying a snow plow.  The vehicle must also be properly “ballasted” by placing ballast 
weight behind the centerline of the rear axle so that no more than 62% of the total weight 
of the vehicle, snow plow, driver, ballast weight, (and any cargo) is placed on the front axle 
while at the same time not exceeding the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Front or Rear 
Gross Axle Weight Ratings.
     1.   PRELIMINARY:   Remove and store the original equipment front skid / splash pan and the 
two longitudinal channel struts bolted between the blocker beam (just behind the front 
bumper) and the front suspension cross member.  Remove the three nuts from the 
bumper attaching bolts at the front of each frame rail.  Save all the original equipment 
fasteners, some will be used to attach the plow mounting, save the remainder for 
possible reinstallation if the plow mounting is removed.  The skid / splash pan and 
longitudinal  st 
           Leave all fasteners loose or “finger tight” until all components have been installed onto the 
vehicle or until installation instructions specify to do so.      
2.  MOUNTING FRAME:  Lift the mounting frame (1) up under the front of the vehicle with 
the slotted holes in the front brackets over the six bumper attaching bolts at the front of 
the frame rails.  Fasten using the six original equipment nuts removed previously.  Fasten 
the rear push angles of the mounting frame (1) to the threaded holes (that the rear of the 
longitudinal struts were attached to) in the front suspension cross member using four of 
the original equipment fasteners.  Tighten all fasteners fully.
 
3.   FINAL  ASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION:  Inspect the mounting attachment bolts to be 
certain that they are all in place and that they are all tight.
OPTIONAL: PLUG MOUNT BRACKET INSTALLATION:  Install the Plug Mount Bracket if the harness will 
be mounted on the frame kit, otherwise, the harness may be routed through the grill, bumper, etc…  Using 
(2) 10-32 x 3⁄4” hex bolts and nylon locknuts, fasten the Plug Mount Bracket to the Plug Mount Bracket 
Mounting Tab located on the drivers side of the frame kit receiver.  The included 8-32 hardware is used for 
mounting the hi-amp battery leads to the Plug Mount Bracket, if used.
