Each base rail must have a bolt in
either of the marked holes. Check
for obstructions before drilling.
Note: Some later models will
require exchanging forward long
brackets from front to rear and or
repositioning forward brackets
to row 2. This is to avoid overload
springs and brake cable hangers.
Exchanging brackets is shown
here by dashed lines.

IMPORTANT NOTES
On short bed vehicles, attach the driver-side forward bracket
on row two to avoid interference with the fuel lines.
On vehicles with overload springs, switch
the position of the long and short brackets.
You may need to move the base rail location +/- 1/2" to
ensure the frame brackets do not interfere with the bed sills.

WARNING
Read pages 2 - 4 of this installation manual before beginning the
installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage.
Check for obstructions prior to drilling. Failure to do so could result in
damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.
CURT does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer
changes. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer
to prevent damage due to installation.
