STEP SLIDER INSTALLATION
1. Remove the stock rocker panel guards
2. The top bracket will be installed first (If the brackets are not symmetrical make sure
you install the correct bracket on the correct side)
3. The bracket start point is approximately 4 3/8 inches back from the front door seam.
4. Find your starting point and hold the bracket up against the truck. Hold the bracket up
against the truck panel matching the body angles. Position the bracket so that the back
of the bracket is up against the panel seam. This should leave the top of the bracket in
approximately a level position when installed on the truck. Providing a level bracket for
the slider to sit on in the next step:
Make sure to get the front of the bracket positioned as described in step 3.
a. This works best with two people holding the bracket and a third person marking
the holes
b. With bracket in the correct location, mark the location of the holes with a
marker on the panel of the truck. These will be the locations for the nutserts to
be installed in the body.
5. Carefully drill a 7/32’’ pilot hole into the center of the marked points into the truck’s
rocker side
a. **It is extremely important these holes are drilled precisely to insure the
slider will fit properly once the nutserts have been installed
