3. With the bracket in place you must visually verify that there are no obstructions underneath the truck before drilling through both holes with a 3/8” drill bit. If the holes fall on the edge of a rib you can use an 1/8” pilot drill first and then open up to 3/8”. Once the holes are drilled place the supplied bolts through the plastic block, bracket and truck bed and use a 2 ½” x 4” thrust plate that was supplied on the underside beneath the nylock nut. (Be sure the ears on the plastic blocks face out, they are machined to fit securely over the aluminum bar to prevent twisting)

4. For placement of the shorter front mounting bracket you will need to measure the length of your platform extension. The length is always in increments of 3” and you only need to be concerned with whole numbers. (if it measures 24 3/16 then consider it 24” even) Now add 3 1/16” to the measurement you got, this will be the dimension from the front of your truck box to the holes on the mounting bracket. As an example, a 24” extension will have a hole dimension of 27 1/16” from the front of the truck box. Now you can place the shorter mounting bracket between the wheel wells making sure it is centered. Carefully measure to be certain you have an accurate measurement from the hole to the front of your truck box. Most truck boxes are stamped with recessed areas or “corrugated”. In this case you must measure from the areas that protrude, not from the recessed areas!

5. Once you are certain of the position you can again verify that there are no obstructions underneath t he truck and then repeat step #3.

6. With both brackets securely bolted you can now slide the unit onto the plastic blocks. Be sure and remove the ramp from it first and have a friend help you. Also you must remove the front removable stop bar before sliding the unit on. Once the unit is on all the blocks, reinstall the stop bar and the ramp and you are ready to load!
