10. The three remaining brackets must be attached to the frame of the truck with two 1/2" wheel bolts
(#11). Drill 17/32" holes through the side of the truck frame using the two holes in each bracket as
guides. See Illustration "G". CAUTION: Holes MUST be drilled 17/32" diameter, so that the special
wheel bolts will seat properly. If holes are too small, the bolt may break. If holes are too large, the bolt
will not grip properly.

11. Place the ½"wheel bolts (#11) into the frame first and then out through the brackets. Some
applications will require the use of a pull wire (#18) to align the bolts into the drilled holes in the
frame. Thread the
pull wire coil over the end of the wheel bolt and pull through frame and bracket.
See Illustration "G".
NOTE: On some applications, a spacer plate (#17) may be required on the inside of the truck frame at
the
upper hole on the driver and passenger side rear brackets (#3) and (#4) before inserting the wheel
bolts. See Illustration "H" for correct location. Secure each bracket to the truck frame. The knurled
portion of the bolts will lock into the frame holes as the nuts are tightened. The use of air wrench will
make installation easier.
12. Tighten all 1/2" attachment bolts to 75 ft.-lbs. torque. Failure to tighten bolts as described may result in
fastener loss or failure.
13. Tighten each 5/8" bed rail attachment bolt to 150 ft.-lbs. torque. Failure to tighten bolts as
described may result in fastener loss or failure. DO NOT apply torque to the nut portion of the clip
nuts (#10). You will DAMAGE it.
