Step 5Because the assembly weighs in at 146 pounds, we found it usefull to jack it into place for easier assembly and less hernias.

Step 7 Bulletproof includes spacers to shove the bump-stops out a bit if needed.

Step 9 Tighten up all bolts in bumper and then re-tighten like doing lugnuts on wheels. Go a bit at a time. The gear is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances and you may have to mess with it a bit. This is a good thing!

Step 6The rack will rest against the top two bump-stops on the tailgate when assembled.

Step 8 Use a cheater bar or screwdriver to align the holes on the bumper with the frame to start seating bolts.

Step 10 Because our tailgate was bashed in during the accident, it has a slight bow to it. We needed to install the spacers in the top bump-stops. You may not. You will need to remove the lower two bump-stops, regardless.
