Mount Assembly Instructions

3/8” ALL-THREAD ROD CAN BE INSTALLED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESISTANCE
TO UPLIFT AND TWIST. THIS MAY ALSO BE A REQUIREMENT OF THE PERMITTING
AUTHORITY.
• With Gimbal oriented properly (set bolts pointed true south), use pre-drilled 7/16” holes
as a guide to drill through the pipe on both sides.
• Slide the all-thread through the Gimbal and pipe, using two 3/8” hex nuts on both sides
to fix it in place.
Attaching Shock Mounting Arm(s) to Axle
• If using one Shock Mounting Arm mount on
north-facing end of Axle as shown.
• Bolt Shock Mounting Arm to Axle using 1/2”
x 1-3/4” hex bolts, flat washers, and Nylock
nuts.
• Notice orientation of Shock Mounting Arm.
The two welded pieces of round are
designed to “wrap” around the tab on the
Axle.
• Torque fasteners to approximately 80 ft-lbs.
This is a high-stress junction and should be
checked periodically.
• If using two Shock Mounting Arms, repeat installation on south end of Axle.
Attaching Axle to Gimbal
• Orient the Axle so that the Shock Mounting
Arm(s) are hanging below.
• Align the center hole (3/4”) of the Axle with
the holes on the Gimbal tabs.
• Insert the 3/4” x 6” hex bolt and flat washer
on the side opposite the small welded tab
(see diagram).
• The full size 3/4” hex nut goes on first and
fits tightly against the welded tab to prevent
spinning.
• The jam nut (thinner) goes on top of the
regular hex nut.
• When the rack is fully assembled, the bolt
and jam nut must be tightened to
approximately 100-120 ft-lbs.
• For the purposes of assembly, it is only
necessary to tighten the bolt / nuts lightly.
• First tighten bolt then, while preventing bolt from turning, tighten jam nut.
