INTERNATIONAL MEDIUM-DUTY FITMENT GUIDE

Which Ex-Guard Kit Is Right for My International DuraStar / 4400 / 4300 / MV?

For model years 2004 through 2022, compare the tow-hook mount locations and bumper position to the three published configurations.

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR FITMENT

Start with Tow-Hook Location, Then Check the Bumper

There are three options for the mid-size International (Navistar) trucks known as DuraStar, 4300, 4400 or MV models for model years 2004 through 2022.

The correct Ex-Guard bracket kit is determined by the tow-hook location—specifically where each hook bolts to the truck—and whether the bumper is flush with the hood (most common) or extends at least 2 inches beyond the hood.
