2007-2009 Jeep JK Rock Rail Kit
1. Remove the factory installed rock rails by removing the fasteners
located at the pinch weld, and the underside in the floor. Keep the 6
fasteners [3 per side] removed from underneath in the floor. These will
be reused.
2. There are 6 factory holes in the pinch weld area. Please note that a
couple of the holes will need to be drilled out to a larger size using a ½”
drill bit to accommodate installation of the Panel Nuts. Install the 12
Panel Nuts [6 per side] by aligning them with the factory holes in the
pinch weld area, then sliding them up into place over the hole. The
Panel Nuts will snap into place when installed correctly.
Refer to Figure 1.
3. Install the Driver Side Rock Rail Assembly by holding it up in
position and installing the 3 fasteners that thread into the floor first.
These should only be installed finger tight for now. The assembly can
hang on these 3 fasteners while you are getting ready to install the
remaining hardware. Refer to Figure 2. Note: To identify the Driver
Side vs Passenger Side Rock Rail Assembly, note the location of the
Nuts welded into the rail assemblies. These nuts are for mounting the
optional Step Kit #0130715 [not included]. These holes will be below
the doors when mounted correctly.
4. Installation of the remaining fasteners is a lot easier with the weight of
the Rock Rail supported with a floor jack. Lift the assembly up into
position and using the supplied 5/16”x1” Hex Bolts and Flat Washers,
thread the bolts through the Rock Rail into the Panel Nuts previously
installed. You can access the mounting
points through the cut-outs in the bottom
of the Rock Rail. Do not tighten the
fasteners yet. Refer to Figure 3.
5. With all the fasteners installed finger
tight, confirm there is no risk of
interference with the body/ frame. If
everything is ok, tighten all the fasteners.
6. Follow the same steps for installation of
the Passenger Side Rock Rail.
