8. Mark 4 holes to be drilled through the truck bed (see the illustrations for your truck). Measure carefully to determine if the frame
bracket is under the hole in the rail you have chosen. (Hole location will vary for individual vehicle applications.) Drill 4 holes with 1/8"
drill. Be sure that the frame brackets will align with the 1/8” holes that were just drilled. If they don’t, move either the frame brackets or
the rails slightly. Drill another 1/8” hole and check again. Then enlarge the 1/8” drilled holes with a 21/32" drill. Always use sharp drill bits.
Install tube spacer between rail and bed, install 5/8” carriage bolts into holes. Install filler spacer above or below bed to fill corrugations in
bed floor. SEE FIG. 4 on page 11. This is done to fill any space between the Frame bracket and the rail. This will keep the bed corrugation
from crushing when the bolts are tightened.
9. Install mounting brackets onto carriage bolts. Use the left and right angled frame brackets at locations where frame obstruction will not
allow the straight frame brackets to be positioned. Secure bolts through mounting brackets with serrated washers and hex nuts.
10. Drill two 17/32” holes in truck frame for each frame bracket. Select the holes which will give the greatest spread between bolts.
Install eight 1/2”-13x1-3/8” ribbed neck bolts, (threads pointing out), serrated washers, and hex nuts. Tighten nuts until bolt heads seat.
Lubrication of knurls of all rib neck bolts is recommended. But only the knurled area. (See figure below for weld option)
CAUTION:
It is important that 17/32" drill be used for holes in chassis frame as rib neck bolts
may break if too small a hole is used and neck may not grip if too large a hole is used.
Note: On vehicles with heavy duty suspensions, check for interference with bolts where brackets are mounted to
frame. If interference with suspension spring results, cut bolt flush to nut outboard of frame or use weld option.
CAUTION:
Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines,
structural members, etc. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. does its best to communicate tow
vehicle manufacturer changes; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer to prevent
damage due to installation.
11. Torque all 1/2” nuts to 75 lb-ft and all 5/8” nuts to 130 lb-ft.
12. Pull wire provided to pull rib neck bolts through frame as needed per application. See figure 1.
WARNING:
DO NOT lubricate threads. It may cause bolt failure.
