1. Remove the "Hitch Access Panel" and "Hitch Receiver Plug" (see figures #1 & #2)
(figure 1)
(figure 2)
2. It may also help to remove the spare tire, as it is quite a tight space for the installation of the back bolt (step # 5 below). (see figure #3)
(figure 3)
3. Position the LR019990ABP hitch into the hitch receiver opening. (see figure #4)
(figure 4)
4. Prepare the long 12mm bolt (1 each) and 12mm large washer (1 each.) Apply supplied thread locker as noted on the thread locker packaging to the threads on the 12mm bolt and nut. Insert the 12mm bolt with flat washer into the opening on the back of the hitch receiver and tighten to 65 ft./lbs. torque using a torque wrench. This will permanently install the receiver on your vehicle and lock the nuts in place to the proper non-dry torque specifications. Please note: Some vehicles will not have the hole for this third bolt. This is not an issue as long as the other two 14mm bolts are installed correctly. (see figures #5, #6)

5. Prepare the 14mm bolts (2 each), 14mm washers (4 each), 14mm lock washers (2 each) and 14mm nuts (2 each.) Apply supplied thread locker as noted on the thread locker packaging to the threads on the 14mm bolts and nuts. Move the "ears" of the hitch into position and insert bolts with washers and tighten the nuts on to the bolts to 110 ft./lbs. torque using a torque wrench. (see figures #7, #8, #9, #10)

Please note: Once bolts above are installed, you may see some deflection (bend) on some of the flat washers when tightened to proper torque specifications.
6. Install your ball mount receiver into the hitch and tighten the "anti-rattle" short 12mm bolt. (see figures #11, #12). Please note: Do NOT apply thread locker to this bolt or you will not be able to remove and change ball mount receivers.
