I have a 99 Dodge diesel and I have a western to put on it. The problem is that where the back mounts are at there is holes but how the heck are you supposed to put nuts on them. How do you deal with these holes? Drill all the way thru the frame? Is there a toggel type bolt out there? the front ones are going to be a pain in the butt to but I think I can get those. The only thing that I wonder about is it seems like the bottom of the front part needs to go forward to be level and for the holes to line up, kinda like the part between the front and back mounts needs to be just a little longer. ANY thoughts would be great. If you have any thoughts email me at toolhomeimprove@netins.net please, I can get emails on my phone. Thanks

Depending on what your mounting up.
Unimount? Ultra mount? Some had a long bushing that goes thru the frame while others used a square kind of a "u" bolt that just went thru the frame and back to the thrust arms..
With the correct info I can get you to the installation guide..
:rolleyes: John...

I was told it is a unimount, looks like it needs bolts. Don't see any way that u bolts would work, even with bushings there is no hole on the other side of the frame. Thanks

I think I found the info I need, I see what you meant by a ubolt, looks like I will need to take the back part of the mount apart to get it on with the ubolt.
I will have to call my local supplier Monday to see about getting the ubolt. Still not going to be as easy as I was hopeing with haveing to take the front and back apart and drill some holes but atleast I think I fugured out how they had it figured out I think. But if you have any other suggestions I will sure take them. Thanks
