The recovery loops (D-rings) must be permanently removed. Using an 18mm socket and wrench, remove the two bolts from both recovery loops on the front of the vehicle. Return the recovery loops and hardware to the vehicle owner. The base plate is then installed in the same location using the same holes as the recovery loops.
After bumper and recovery loop removal: (1) Slide the base plate into the same location where the recovery loops were removed, using the same holes.

(3) Reinstall the two existing 10mm bolts into the base plate and tighten according to torque specifications. (4) Fully tighten the M12 bolts on both sides to 55 ft-lbs. (5) Remove the 10mm bolts and save them. (6) Install the permanent safety cables and quick links.
The M12 bolts on the side of the base plate must be fully tightened to 55 ft-lbs on both sides of the vehicle. The existing 10mm bolts on the front of the base plate should be tightened according to the torque specifications listed on page 1 of the manual (specific torque value for 10mm bolts not stated in provided text). Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 for guidance on this step.

Each cable is rated for 7,500 lbs. Ensure cables do not pinch or interfere with hoses, wiring, or other components. The cables must be connected to both the base plate and the vehicle frame. Safety cables are not a replacement for safety chains connecting the tow vehicle to the towed vehicle.
Yes, the manual states that trimming of inner bumper covers/fascia is required during reinstallation. The exact extent of trimming depends on your specific vehicle model. Trim the inner bumper covers/fascia for reinstallation after the base plate is installed and before the bumper is fully reinstalled.
