This is one of our EZ2 series brackets, which allows the visible front portion of the bracket be easily removed from the front of the vehicle (Fig.A and B). The bracket consists of a main receiver brace, two removable front braces, two center braces and a hardware pack. The main receiver brace mounts the frame rails and the bumper core. The removable front braces install in the main receiver brace. Before starting the installation, lay out the kit components in order, as they will be used. This will give you a visual idea of how the components work, and will also confirm that everything is present and accounted for.
