 Do not over tighten the nuts and bolts or damage to the castings and or stripping of the threads could result.
 FOR SAFE AND PROPER USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT, THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.
 The manufacturer and distributor of this product are in no way responsible for the consumer’s failure to adhere to the warnings and directions of these instructions in the

½” wrenches, two 7/16” wrenches and silicone.

WARNINGS!

MATERIAL FURNISHED: Two 18” tubes, four black mounting castings, four steel mounting brackets, two black plastic
tread plates, instruction page and two hardware packs (Important! Not all of the parts in these hardware packs may be
needed for proper installation).

panels. 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 that may be on the backside of the rocker panel,
the step can be moved towards the front or the rear of the vehicle.

2. 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 upper portion of Detail B.

3. Assemble the steel mounting brackets to the step as shown in the drawing, but only hand tighten.

4. When positioning the assembled step against the back side of the rocker panel, be sure to avoid all bumps and screws to

ensure that the step is against a flat surface. Take a pencil and mark a vertical line that lines up with the front edge of the
seat, on the outside painted surface of the pinch weld. (See diagram). Disassemble the brackets from the step.

5. Measure 8” on each side of the marked vertical line and mark two more lines on that same surface. The dimension between

the two outside marked lines should be 16”.

6. Measure 3/8” from the edge of the pinch weld where you marked the other vertical lines and mark two horizontal lines,

creating a cross hair. NOTE: DOUBLE CHECK DIMENSIONS BEFORE DRILLING! (Warning: when drilling holes
leave at least 1/8” of metal between the hole and the edge of the pinch weld).

7. Take a center punch and punch the center where the two sets of lines cross.

8. Take a 1/8” drill bit and drill out the centered punched holes.

9. Enlarge the 1/8” hole with a 5/16” drill bit.

10. After drilling make sure that all the burrs are removed.

11. Place the steel mounting brackets on the vehicle where the two holes are drilled. DIAGRAM B: Be sure to install the

tubes.

12. DIAGRAMS A, D, E: Use the 5/16” x 5/8” hex bolts (DIAGRAM B: uses the 5/16” x 1 ¾” hex bolts and ’09 Dodge

Ram usues 5/16” x 2 ½” hex bolt) with the 5/16” hex nuts and 5/16” washers to securely tighten the brackets on the
vehicle.

13. DIAGRAM C: Use the 5/16” x 5/8” bolts with the 5/16” hex nuts and 5/16” washers and only hand tighten the steel

mounting brackets to the vehicle.

14. DIAGRAMS A, B, D, E: Using the top ¼” hole at the top of each steel mounting bracket, take a 1/8” drill bit and drill

holes into the body metal. Take the 5/8” sheet metal screws provided and securely tighten. (Drilling at an angle may be
necessary due to interference or for proper alignment). Place the step back into the brackets and securely tighten.
DIAGRAM D ONLY: Ford application will need the front steel mounting bracket to be pivoted back to properly fit.

15. DIAGRAM C: Place the step into the steel mounting brackets and securely tighten. Insert the wedge washers between the

back side of the rocker panel and the steel mounting brackets far enough so that the step will be level. While holding the
step in the level position, use the top ¼” holes on each steel mounting bracket, mark the holes on both wedge washers.
Remove the wedge washers and drill the marked holes out with a ¼” drill bit. Place the wedge washers back into place.
Take a 1/8” drill bit and drill through the holes in the steel mounting bracket and the holes in the wedge washer into the
body metal. Use the longer sheet metal screws to securely tighten the steel mounting brackets to the vehicle. Remove the
step once again from the steel mounting brackets. Now securely tighten the steel mounting brackets to the vehicle. Place
the step back into the steel mounting brackets and securely tighten.

16. We advise putting silicone sealer around the areas where the aluminum mounting brackets come in contact the body metal.

17.

After one month of use, go back and give all hardware a final tightening.
