Step-by-Step Installation

Disassembly

  1. Park on Level Ground
    Ensure your van is parked on a flat surface for accurate bumper alignment.

  2. Remove Factory Bumper
    Locate and remove the 4x 21mm bolts securing the factory bumper to the frame. Detach any wiring clips using a flathead screwdriver.

  3. Protect Paint
    Apply blue painter’s tape around contact areas to prevent scratches during installation.


Installation

  1. Lift New Bumper into Position
    With assistance, hold the bumper to the frame rails and install one bolt per side to loosely secure it.

  2. Align for Centering
    Adjust the bumper left/right to find true center. Finger-tighten all bolts once aligned.

  3. Lift and Final Secure
    Use a floor jack with a wood block and rag to raise the bumper snugly. Fully tighten all 8 bolts using a 3/4″ wrench and socket.

  4. Install Skid Plate
    Line up the skid plate, thread hardware into place, and tighten using a 7/32″ Allen key.
