1. Place the black mounting
castings in the open ends of
the tube. Line up the holes
and securely fasten the
castings to the tube with
hardware provided. See
Detail A.
2. Before positioning the M
Bracket and step assembly
against the body metal as
shown in Diagram A, assemble the M Brackets together with the
steel mounting brackets only. NOTE: Do not attach the black
mounting castings to the steel brackets at this time.
3. Use the 5/16”x ¾” hex bolts and other 5/16” hardware provided
and securely bolt together the steel brackets and M Brackets.
4. Now place the black mounting castings up into each steel bracket.
Use the ¼” hardware provided and securely tighten all hardware.
See Diagram A.
5.
For the proper position of the step, the front edge of the seat while in normal driving position should be in line with
the center of the step. For personal preference or to avoid any obstruction underneath body metal, step assembly
can be moved left or right.
6. Once the desired position of the step has been found, take a pencil and mark the center of the step on the painted
body metal of your truck, on the bottom of the rocker panel.
NOTE: This operation is much easier to do while on your back. Refer to Diagram B.
7. Measure 8” from each side of the marked center line on the
same body metal surface.
8. Measure 5/8” in from the edge of the body metal, and mark
a line across the marked outside lines. Refer to Diagram B.
9. Center-punch where the lines cross, then drill them out with
5/16” drill bit.
