I recently purchased a moose plow with a manual lift kit. The problem I am having is determining how to route the connecting rod. Does it go over the tie rod end and sterring linkage or under. Also, the template that was with the package has me cut out a small portion of the my mud flap. From what I can tell it looks as though the the fender just above the flap would need to be cut. Also, does the rod insert into the lift handle from out to in or in to out? Any assistance in getting this thing to hook up would be greatly appreciated.
