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. Mounting rails may be installed on spray in liners.
Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit. All bolts and nuts are Grade 8 unless otherwise
specified.
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.

two bolts on the outside of the frame and pushing the bolt heads through the key hole slots, as shown in Figure 2b.
Attach the plug to the angle bracket supplied with the mounting kit. The bracket will be attached to the inside of
the frame with a 5/8" bolt at a later installation step.
3.
Place one mounting rail in the bed of the vehicle. Center the rail on the floor of the truck bed and use your tape
measure to locate the proper distance from the rail to the to the rear edge of the truck box as illustrated on page 3.
4.
Use a center punch to mark the holes in the rail per the illustration. Move the rail out of the way and drill each
position with a 1/8" drill bit. Note: When drilling holes through the bed be sure what is below the truck bed
in those locations.
Temporarily position the frame brackets on the sides of the frame and check that the 1/8" drilled holes align with
