Just be prepared to spend a few hours...on each bolt...another contributing factor is Dodge uses non-service removable locktite on a lot of their fasteners. Trying to take the 4 bolts out of the rear pinion to replace my u-joint was a total PIA because of that.

Thats how both mine are. The only reason my push bar is still sitting in my shed. It was easy getting the other 6 factory bolts it uses out.Originally Posted by jkeaton

Other then the 2 Tow hook bolts, Its a very simple install.
