88-98 Chevy Truck Installation Instructions Kit #10002 #10003

Do not attempt to tow with the vehicle bumper after the relocating brackets have been installed. These brack- ets are designed to enhance the appearance of the vehicle. Towing with the bumper after the brackets have been installed could result in vehicle damage, personal injury or death. All towing should be done with a class III receiver hitch only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or injury resulting from towing with the bumper.

1. Read the instructions completely and carefully before you begin.
2. Check the kit for proper contents (refer to the part's list and the picture diagrams). This rear bumper raising kit can be installed on an 88-98 Chevy/GMC pickup only.
3. Park the vehicle on a clean, dry, flat (level) surface. Block the tires so the vehicle cannot roll in either direction.
4. Disconnect both battery cables- Be sure to discon-nect the negative cable first, then the positive cable.
5. Disconnect the license plate lights from the rear bumper.
6. There are four bolts on each frame rail that mount the rear bumper to the frame. There is one on the bottom of the frame, and three on the side. The most forward side bolt is the top bolt for the spring hanger. Support the rear bumper so the mounting bolts can be removed and the bumper will not fall. At the outside of the bumper there are two nuts and two bolts that mount the bumper brace to the bumper. Loosen the nuts and bolts to allow the bumper brace to swing away from the frame when the bumper is removed. Remove the stock rear bumper mounting bolts from each side and the bottom of the frame. Remove the rear bumper from the vehicle.
