Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the way to provide metal to

metal contact. Base rails may be installed on spray in liner

2. Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit. All bolts are grade 5 and nuts are grade 5 unless

specified otherwise.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE GUIDELINES ONLY, ACTUAL INSTALLATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY

OF THE INSTALLER AND THE OWNER. ALWAYS MEASURE TRUCK AND TRAILER BEFORE

INSTALLING HITCH TO BE SURE THAT THERE IS CLEARANCE AT THE CAB AND AT THE BUMPER

TO ALLOW FOR TURNS.

1. Lower and remove spare tire. Remove exhaust heat shield. On passenger side temporarily remove exhaust hanger

from side of frame. Some models will require the brake line hanger mounted on the driver side to be temporarily

removed.

2. Place one rail in the box of the truck, using your tape measure, center the mounting rail on the truck box floor and

the proper distance from the rear edge of the truck box as illustrated for options 1 and 2.

3. Using a center punch, mark the holes as per the illustration. Move the mounting rail out of the way and drill each

position with a 1/8" drill bit. WARNING: When drilling front hole on driver side, be very careful not to drill

into fuel lines.

4. Temporarily position the frame bracket on the side of the frame and check that the 1/8 drilled holes align with the

slots of the frame bracket. Remove the frame bracket from the vehicle.

5. Enlarge the 1/8 drilled holes to 9/16 with a step drill. WARNING When drilling front hole on driver side, be

very careful not to drill into fuel lines.

6. Fasten the frame bracket to the side of the frame using the appropriate hardware. Tighten hand tight. On F-250

Light Duty models, the rear hole on the vehicle frame may require enlarging to accept 1/2 hardware.

7. Reposition the mounting rail over the holes and fasten the mounting rail to the frame brackets using the supplied

carriage bolts. Use the supplied spacers between the frame bracket or mounting rails and the box so as to ensure a

metal to metal contact. Tighten hand tight.

8. Place the unassembled 5

mounting rail with the saddles/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail

tight towards the other mounting rail. Ensure that the mounting rail is centered on the truck box floor. This will

position the rail in the correct location and ensure that the 5

than one hitch product will be used with the mounting rails then both should be used at the same time to alien the

second mounting rail. This will ensure that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.

9. Starting with the carriage bolts that fasten the mounting rails to the frame bracket, torque all the nuts. Torque the

1/2 hardware to 72 ft-lbs, and the 3/4 hardware to 100 ft-lbs.

10. Using the existing hardware, remount the exhaust hanger on the passenger side to the new mounting holes on the

bracket. For vehicles that required the removal of the brake line hanger, remount using the supplied longer M8

flange bolt through the frame bracket.

11. Reinstall heat shield and spare tire.
