PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
2. Starting toward the front of the driver side, remove the factory front body mount bolt with
attached washer. Remove but do not discard the factory rubber bushing from the factory bolt.
3. Select the driver side front Mounting Bracket. Insert (1) 12-1.75mm x 120mm Hex Bolt with (1)
12mm ID x 32mm OD x 3mm Flat Washer and (1) 12mm Lock Washer through the Mounting
Bracket. Place (1) Spacer Plate onto the 12mm Hex Bolt then slide the rubber bushing onto
the Hex Bolt. Make sure that the Spacer Plate is between the Mounting Bracket and the factory
rubber bushing, (Figure 3). Hold the front Mounting Bracket, (with hardware, factory washer
and rubber bushing), up in position and hang it from the body mount by threading the hex bolt
into the body mount. Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time. IMPORTANT: On 05 and
newer model years, the large washer on the factory body mount bolt is removable, (do not
discard-must reinstall), and the bolt is long enough to go through the Mounting Bracket and
properly thread into the body mount. It is the installer's responsibility to check length and to
determine whether to use the factory or replacement hex bolt.
4. Repeat Steps 2-3 for rear Mounting Bracket installation.
5. Remove the tape covering the factory hole in the back side of the rocker panel near the
Mounting Bracket. Thread (1) Plastic Retainer part way onto (1) 10mm x 35mm Bolt Plate.
Insert the Bolt Plate into the factory hole on the rocker panel, (Figure 1). Hold the Bolt Plate in
