I have attached an image that details the installation process for the Replacement Bumper Bracket Kit # 40602 referenced in your question. This bracket kit is designed for use with the Tow Ready # 63180 Adjustable Tow Bar along with a couple older models from Draw-Tite and Reese. I highly recommend having a professional installer that is experienced in selecting vehicle attachment areas install the system, as they will need to be attached to areas that have the required strength and support.

The Tow Ready Tow Bar these brackets are designed to work with can be adjusted to work with a maximum width of 41 inches and a minumum of 24 inches.
