Excellent Steve. I'm sure many will bookmark this for installations in the future.

They don't bolt up correctly. You'll need to get hitch from AllPro.

Great install steps. I have installed my front All Pro and when I get back to Colorado next week I will install the rear. I agree with the great install directions from them for the front and ear bumpers. I will definitely follow yours.

Steve, Allpro should package this thread with every rear bumper sold.
(And give you one for free)

They just should.

Thanks, Dale.

Like FJamming said, the OEM trailer hitch won't match up with the contour of the All-Pro bumper, so you'll have to buy their optional hitch. That's the bad news. The good news is, All-Pro's hitch sits high up on its bumper to retain the newly-acquired improved departure angle, where as the OEM hitch would've put it right back down where it was before.

Steve,

Thanks again for all the great info!

I do like your bumper!!! Maintaining that great departure angle with the All-Pro hitch is very worthwhile! That may be the one I buy!!!

You're welcome, Dale. And, thank you for your nice words.

I'm in the process of ordering the All-Pro trailer hitch, so I'll post up some pics after it's installed.
