1. All Sir Michaels tow hitches are designed to fit behind Sir Michaels steel roll pans. Although some hitches will work with other manufactures.
2. This hitch will bolt to the two factory holes on each side of the frame. (Fig 1)
3. Install hitch from the bottom up to the frame. Hitch will bolt on the bottom side of the frame.
(Fig 2). Once all bolts are installed, tighten down to frame. Hitch can now be accessed behind the license plate with a license plate flip, sold separately (Fig 3).
4. Sir Michaels does not supply a hitch wire plug and tow receiver due to the many different connections and drops. Most trailer and auto parts will carry those items.
Note this hitch is not designed for use with lifted trucks or with use of drop receivers larger than a four inch drop,
Use of larger drop receiver will void warranty.
Note: short beds using a hidden hitch will need to down sizeyour spare tire.
To find the maximum size spare tire install your hitch and spare tire relocater.
Extend the tire hoist cable and take a measurement from the cable to the back of
hidden hitch then from hoist cable to the rear end housing or sway bar which ever is
the closer to the cable. The shortest distance times two and subtract four will give
you the maximum over all tire size you can run. |
