Important note

For model year trucks 1999 through 2010, the use of the one inch
stand offs is required. For 2011 model year trucks, the tallest stand
offs are required to clear the under seat air duct in the extended cab or
crew cab models. For bench seats, it is necessary to expose the hump
side mounting hole and tap it so the supplied bolt has an anchor point.
You’ll need an M12-1.75 tap.

Installation instructions

Bucket Seat Instructions:

Depending on the model year of the truck, you may need a T-55 torx bit or common hex shaped socket to
remove the factory seat leg bolts.

1. Remove the front seat bolts from the passenger side of the seat. This will require the use of the tools suggested above. Once the
bolts have been removed, place the appropriate stand off over the threaded hole now visible in the seat frame legs. For 1999
through 2010 model year trucks, the one inch tall stand off is used. For 2011 model years, the 2 3/8” tall stand offs are used.

2. Place the correct stand off over the seat leg holes. Pass the appropriate size bolt through the washer and then through the hole in
the no drill base. Align the base with bolts with the stand offs and start the thread by hand. Once the bolt thread has been started,
use the socket wrench with wobble to begin tightening the bolts.

Bench Seat Instructions:

1. Remove the front seat bolt from the passenger side of the sea nearest the door. The hole near the hump will have to be exposed
as it if often covered by the flooring material in bench seat models. Make a small u-shaped cut and fold back the flap to expose the
hole at the center of the depression in the flooring. Carefully tap out the exposed hole with an M12-1.75 tap if it is not already
threaded. Once tapped, place the black 1.75” OD washer over this hole. The stand off used in the next step will rest on top of this
washer.

2. Place the short, one inch tall stand offs over the hole in the seat frame leg and the hole that is now exposed near the hump. Next,
pass the M12-1.75 x 60 bolt through the supplied washer and then through the metal base at each end.

3. Place the base with the bolts over the stand offs passing the bolts through them and begin tightening by hand the bolts into the
floor board.

4. Once the thread has been started, use the socket wrench and appropriate size socket with the wobble to fully tighten these bolts
and secure the base to the floor board.
