to achieve desired

tires.

NOTE: These instructions for installation are intended to be a
general guide to help the installer. Because of the large number of
possible mounting configurations, the installer is responsible for
the ultimate installation design. Any modifications to the product
are at the discretion, responsibility and risk of the installer.
The adjustable, versatile X-FLEX ®
Multi-Mount ® U is designed for
mounting under the fender using the
X-FLEX ® ISO-BLOX ® vibration isolation system.

2. Determine the ap-
proximate placement
of the X-FLEX ® ISO-
BLOX ® on the fender.
Select an existing hole
in the truck frame or
drill a clearance hole
for a 5/8” dia. bolt
within the range of the
mount, 2”-10”. (Range equals adjustment +2)
Note: Be sure to follow truck manufactures recommend-
ed procedures for drilling any required hole in the frame.
The desired position for the X-FLEX ® mounts will vary from
one installation to another. This is best determined with
the help of the instructions from the fender manufacturer.
If mounting instructions from the fender manufacturer
are unavailable, the X-FLEX ® mounts should be located
approximately 5”-6” in from the sides and centered on
the fender. When using X-FLEX ® ISO-BLOX ® with an end
mount on a half tandem, locate no more than 18”
in from the end of the fender.
ISOBLOX
Drill 5/8" clearance
hole or use existing
hole in frame.
3. Place a straight edge on the
fender at the ISO-BLOX ® lo-
cation and extend it to meet
the truck frame. Measure the
distance from the straight
edge (fender) to the center
of the hole in the frame. Now
subtract 2” from that number.
This is the amount of offset that
the X-FLEX Multi-Mount ® U should
be set at (Step 4). NOTE: If the offset is 4”-8”, the frame side of
the mount will be in the “A” position. If the offset is 0”-4” it will be
in the “B” position. ( See illustration below)
4. Loosely assemble the fender side and the frame side of the Multi-
Mount ® with the 5/8”x1-3/4” bolt, heavy duty flat washer and
2” square nut. Now insert the mounting tube through the clamp
on the fender side of the
Multi-Mount ® , far enough
to measure from the center
of the tube to the center of
the bolt hole in the frame
side of the mount. Adjust
the frame side of the mount
so that the distance from the
center of the tube to the center of
the bolt hole in the frame side equals
the measurement from the previous step
(distance from the fender to the center of
hole in the frame minus 2”). Now tighten the 5/8” bolt
5. Re-adjust the position of the mounting
tube until a minimum of 1/2” of the tube
is showing through the clamp, then
tighten the 7/16” clamp bolt. NOTE:
The position of the tube may be
adjusted for different installations,
but the tube must always be fully
through the clamp.
6. Fasten the Multi-Mount ® loosely to the frame with
the appropriate hardware. Rotate the mount into po-
sition and insert the ISO-BLOX ® between the tube and
the fender. Make sure the fender, the ISO-BLOX ® and the mount
are all in the desired location, then tighten the frame mounting
bolt. Note: ISO-BLOX ® may have to be slightly repositioned
to acheive proper fender height.
7. Continue using the instructions from the ISO-BLOX ® system.
8. When all the mounts are installed and the fender is in the desired
location, remove the spacer blocks and tighten all screws and
bolts to proper torque:
5/8” bolts torque to 245 ft. lbs. • 7/16” bolts torque to 55 ft. lbs.
9. Install end caps as per instructions.
