Installation Steps Continued
5) Install the front cross arm by sliding it between the truck frame and truck bed above one of the rear tires. Slide through until
both sides are resting on the truck frame. It may be necessary to install the same as the rear cross arm as stated in step 4.
6) Raise the center section in position between the cross arms with the ball cylinder towards the front of truck. The round
hitch receiver that protrudes from the top of the center section must fit through the hole in the truck bed. Using (4) 1/2"
bolts, washers, and lock washers, attach the center section to the threaded holes in the front cross arm. Next, attach the
rear cross arm (angle iron) to the center section using (4) 1/2" carriage bolts and flange nuts. (Finger tight only.)
7) For extended cab short bed applications, it may be necessary to remove the metal tabs from the bed supports, prior to
installing the sideplates. The tabs are located on the truck bed cross-member in the front part of the wheel opening.
Before removing, attempt to pry the tabs (if needed) away from the truck frame enough to fit the 1/4" sideplate behind them.
8) Square the center section and cross arms across the frame. Thread a 1 1/2" bolt with a flat and lock washer through the
front flange of the sideplate into the front cross arm. Place a 1 1/2" bolt with a flat washer through the back flange of the
sideplate into the rear cross arm. (As shown in Figure 2) Finger tight with a 1/2" flange nut.
(REPEAT FOR OTHER SIDE)
9) Align one front hole and one rear hole of each sideplate to the existing holes in the truck frame, and using a 1 1/2" bolt with
a 1/2" flat washer attach the sideplates to the truck frame. (As shown in Figure 2) Finger tight with a 1/2" flange nut.
10) With the sideplates installed on both sides, torque all fasteners to 110 ft.-lbs. in the following order:
First: Torque the center section to the front and rear cross arms.
Second: Torque the sideplates to the truck frame on both sides.
Third: Torque the sideplate flanges to the front and rear cross arms.
11) To install handle rod, line it up on the driver side to get its position and then procede to cut the bed flange rail up 3/4" and
5" wide. Then, a 6" wide by 5" high hole, lined up with the bed flange cut-out, must be cut into the plastic wheel well in
order to get a hand through to use the handle rod.
