Installation Guide
PREPARE BED: BRACKET INSTALLATION
• The Aluminum Ford F150s require a shim between the cabside tie down brackets and the truck.
• Remove cabside factory tie-downs on both sides of truck bed (T30 Torx driver) and SAVE THE SCREWS.
• Aluminum and coated steel don’t like each other. Install DECKED cabside tie down brackets on both
sides of the truck with the soft rubber shim placed between the bracket and the sidewall; bag 3A.
NOTE: Use factory tie down screws.
