DODGE (RAM) '02-08' 1500 / '03-12' 2500 WITHOUT OVERLOAD BRACKETS
('03-12' 2500 WITH OVERLOAD AND 3500 REQUIRED BRACKET KIT 58186,
Read pages 2-3 of these instructions before starting installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage!
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS INSTALLATION:
1. Tube spacer and 4 1/2" carriage bolt used to attach through rearward Bed Sill (Row 3).
2. **Rib neck bolts will need to be pulled through access holes in frame with supplied pull wire (see below).
3. Do not drill through both
walls of frame. Drill only
through wall of frame to
which bracket is mounted.
4. It is very important that
brackets in Row 2 are against
rear side of Bed Sill as shown.
Due to dimensional instability in
Bed Sill placement with the
Dodge truck, interference could
result when drilling in Row 3.
Observe caution note below and
double check all areas prior to
drilling.
5. To avoid drilling inside of
frame, (Passenger Side
Row 3) Optional Custom
Bracket (58023) can be
purchased from your
dealer if needed. The use
of this bracket allows for
drilling outside the frame
and avoids exhaust
hanger.
6. *Due to tubular frames
having thinner walls than
previous C channel
frames, extra caution
needs to be used when
mounting with the optional
welding.
