Installation Instructions
1. Lower and remove spare tire if extra room is needed.
2. On 2011 and up Gas Engine Vehicles Only. The vapor tube running along the inside of the driver’s side frame rail must be
relocated prior to installing the driver’s side bracket. See Figure 1a. Remove the flange nut from the outside of the fram e and
. (4)(5)(6), as shown in Figure 1c. Tighten the L-bracket (7) to the frame, but leave the tube holder loose to aid bracket installation.
3. Place the front mounting rail in the box of the truck. Using your tape measure, center the rail between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor and the proper distance from the rear edge of the truck box as illustrated in Figure 6. See page 1for mounting the brackets to the rails and brackets to the frame.
4. Mark and center punch the holes as per the illustration in Figure 6. Move the rail out of the way and drill each position wi th a 1/8”drill bit. Warning: When drilling holes be aware of potential risks to vehicle components, such as brake lines and fuel
tanks, and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from damage.
5. Temporarily position the frame brackets on the outside of the frame and check that the 1/8” drilled holes align with the slots of the frame bracket. Remove the frame bracket from the vehicle.
6. Enlarge the 1/8”drilled holes to 9/16” with the step drill. Warning: When drilling holes be aware of potential risks, such as
brake lines and fuel tanks, to vehicle components and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from damage.
7. Loosely install the frame brackets by aligning the brackets with holes in the frame. Insert M14 bolt and washer(2) into slots in the bracket and through the holes in the frame. Install the M14 nut w ith retainer(3) on the bolt. Snug the bolts. Do not tighten.
8. Reposition the mounting rail over the holes.
Note: The U-shaped spacer will have to be installed before inserting the 1/2" carriage bolts through the mounting rail and box floor. This insures a metal to me tal contact. A U-shaped spacer is not needed for the attachment at the center of the rail. Attach the carriage bolts on the ends of the rails with spacers(1), lock washers, and nuts as per the Figure 1 and tighten snug to keepthe mounting rail from moving. Attach the carriage bolt in the middle with a conical washer and nut.

10. Place the unassembled fifth wheel saddles/slider/goose into the already installed mounting rail. Position the second mountin grail with the saddles/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail tight towards the other mounting rail. Ensure that the mounting rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box floor. This will position the mounting rail in the correct location and ensure that the fifth wheel will have a snug fit to the truck. NOTE: If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails then both should be used at the same time to align the second rail. This will ensure that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
11. Repeat steps 5 thru 10 for the other side of the vehicle.
12. Tighten the fasteners in the following sequence: 1) torque the mounting rails to the frame brackets, 2) torque the frame brackets to the truck frame.
Torque all 1/2" Grade 5 hardware to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m), M14 - 10.9 hardware to 148
ft-lbs (201 N-m).
13. On 2011 and up Gas Engine Vehicles Only. Use the factory flange nut that was removed in Step 2 to tighten the tube holder
onto the L-bracket as shown in Figure 1c.
14. Reinstall spare tire if it was removed.
