Rock-Slide Engineering FORD VAN STEP SLIDER - Manual

RSE Step/Slider Installation Instructions:
Full Sized Ford Van
Thank you for your purchase of the finest engineered step/slider on the market. The
step/slider units are preassembled and adjusted in our factory to make installation easy,
but a few simple points must be observed for ease of installation and operation:
1. Disconnect battery ground before installation.
2. The assembled step/sliders are very large and heavy requiring two people for
installation.
3. It ʼs very important that the step sliders do not twist when bolted to the mounting
supports.
Begin by thoroughly reading these instructions and identifying the components included
with your kit.
Part 1: Step/slider assembly installation
Step 1: Position upper support bracket as shown (fig. 1).
Fig 1.
It should be centered between the fenders or fender flares if so equipped. Hold the
support bracket in place and mark the hole locations for the threaded inserts used to
mount the support to the body of the vehicle. The welded threaded inserts on the support
bracket should be horizontal Make sure the support is where you want it: too high and the
doors may scrape on the step/sliders, and too low the step/sliders will be at the wrong
angle to mount to the lower support.
Step 2: Center-punch all the threaded insert holes and pre-drill with small bit. A step drill
bit is an excellent tool for cutting large holes for the threaded inserts.
