GMC / Chevrolet no longer offers the 3500HD pickup truck. There is still a dual rear wheeled 3500, but its maximum GVWR is only 11,400lbs. The Class 4 & 5 GVWR ranges (14,001 to 19,500lbs) that used to be covered by the 3500HD are now part of the GMC / Chevrolet TopKick / Kodiak (4500/5500 family) line of trucks.

The TopKick / Kodiak line of trucks is much more similar in overall construction to its heavier GVWR cousins than it is to the old 3500HD pickup trucks. Therefore, the DMF RW-1019 railgear has been modified to better suit this line of trucks. The redesigned RW-1019 for TopKick /Kodiak trucks is very similar to the larger DMF RW-1212 and RW-1420 railgear. The only difference between this RW-1019 for the Chevy /GMC 4500 / 5500 series trucks and the RW-1212 and RW-1420 line is the size of the rail wheels, bearings, axle and the pivot arms.

Remove the front bumper cover
A. Begin by removing the dust covers that are located underneath the vehicle. Use the 10mm socket to remove the OEM bolts and then the 7mm Nut driver to removed all the OEM screws along the sub-front portion of the bumper.
B. Locate and remove all other fasteners that attach the OEM bumper cover to the vehicle. Once you’ve removed the fasteners, slowly remove the bumper cover. Note that some vehicles may have the foam bumper protector inside, where some may have the plastic protector. The Pro-gard Push Bumper was designed for the plastic protector.

Procedures:
1. Make sure you park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. Many times a vehicle is un level (side-to-side) from the factory, but usually not noticed until a lift kit has been installed which makes the difference more visible. Using a measuring tape, measure the front and rear (both sides) from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle. Record below for future reference.
