2016 CBI front bumper install

From their installation manual:

 

Thanks for the pic! Is there a sway bar relocation part on the bottom of that bracket?

 

The sway bar is removed in that pic. But it would mount just below the single bolt along with a relocate bracket

 

Yeah just wondering since that bracket is wrapped underneath if the holes are covered for the sway bar mount

 

You’re welcome. I have attached another screen shot from the instructions, the sway bar bolts up just the same as it did stock, just with the CBI bracket sandwiched between the frame and the sway bar mount. The truck used for the install scrapped the sway bar, but if you wanted to keep it, you would just bolt the sway bar up directly under the bracket. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see there are two holes for the sway bar mount bolts to go through. I hope that makes sense, I tried to post the entire instruction manual, but I can’t seem to do it from my iPad. I will try to PM it to you.

 

I can’t pm you the instructions either, but if you look at post number 30 if this thread you can see how the sway bar attaches.

 

No worries just trying to figure out how it would work and look like since I like my reservoir bracket on the Kings. But thank you for trying to send it!!

 

I have a few questions for the masses...

1) Will the CBI T3 in steel be too heavy for the stock front end suspension to handle day in and day out? I plan on changing the suspension all the way around, but wanted to take care of the bumpers first.
2) Is there a way to install a winch into the bumper once it is on? Or is the general consensus to install the winch with the bumper off?

Thanks for the insight

 

For a great install guide you should reference the Addictive honey badger installation instructions.
Much better guide for cutting bumper, very similar to CBI T3 bumper in design.

 

Does anyone know what the rectangular pieces are for? Couldn't figure it out.

 

It goes between the frame and the bottom bolt on the bumper.

 

Okay, that's what I thought but it didn't tighten down all the way. I'll recheck it, thanks!

 

Yup you’re suppose to have everything else loose to where it’ll move, tighten that bottom one first and then tighten the other ones

 

thanks for the heads up!

 

How are you guys mounting the front license plate on the T3 bumper?

 

I bought the cascadia 4x4 flip up licence plate holder. works great. not a perfect fit but damn close

 

Thank you for an idea, kinda wish that CBI thought of including some sort of a way to mount the license plate. Your truck looks amazing by the way.

 

Got my bumper on last month, but picked up the side support brackets this week (they forgot to include those). This picture saved the day as I couldn't find the .pdf install guide. Thanks!

 

Glad I could help

 

Which light bar do you have in your bumper?
