Do not install mounting rails over plastic bed liners. Plastic bed liners must be cut out of the way to provide metal to
metal contact. Mounting rails may be installed on spray in liners.
Use only bolts, nuts, and washers supplied to install this kit. All bolts and nuts are Grade 8 unless otherwise
specified.
These instructions are guidelines only, actual installation is the responsibility of the installer and the owner. Always
measure truck and trailer before installing hitch to be sure that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to
allow for turns.
Do not install this product on or attempt to tow with a truck with a 5-1/2’ bed unless a sidewinder pinbox coupler has
been installed on the trailer.
Warning!!
When installing to Figure 1 & 3, during drilling protect the fuel tank and filler tubes, brake lines and wire harness by placing a
piece of metal between the box floor and potential components at risk on the driver’s side. This will prevent drilling into these
items.
Installation Instructions
1.Lower and remove spare tire if extra room is needed. If equipped with inner plastic wheel well liner, remove inner plastic wheel well
covers to allow access to frame.
2.For the driver’s side front bracket placement, remove the nut on the outside of the frame that supports the existing electrical box. Will
Reposition later: The electrical box using the provided S bracket and original frame fasteners to create additional space for the driver’s
side bracket strap. See Figure 1.
3.If bumper/hitch bracket is present. Remove 5 of the 6 bumper/hitch frame bracket on both sides of vehicle. Loosen the top rear most
bolt to allow the bumper/hitch frame bracket to pivot. Note: Bolt location marked with a needs to be removed. (See Figure 2)
Warning!!
Be careful when rotating bumper/hitch
bracket not to damage vehicle.
4.With the bumper/hitch bracket rotated down to provide space for the frame brackets (10) & (11). Position frame brackets (10) & (11)
on to the vehicle frame. Rotate bumper/hitch frame bracket back to location and loosely install 14m bolts (14) with 9/16” lock washers
(15). Note: The frame bracket (10) & (11) should be sandwiched between vehicle frame and bumper/hitch bracket.
5.Place the rear 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 see Figure 3.
6.Mark and center punch the holes as per Figure 3. Move the rail out of the way and drill each position with a 1/8 drill bit. Warning:
When drilling holes be aware of potential risks to vehicle components and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from
damage.
7.Check that the 1/8” inch drilled holes align with the slots of the rear frames brackets (10) and (11).
8.Enlarge the 1/8” inch drilled holes to 9/16”. Warning: When drilling holes be aware of potential risks to vehicle components and
make appropriate safe guards to protect them from damage.
9.Reposition the mounting rail over the holes.
10.Install the 1/2” x 2” carriage bolts with the U-shaped spacer to be located in the corrugation between the box and the mounting rail or
between box and frame bracket (10) & (11). This insures a metal to metal contact and to prevent crushing the bed corrugation. Attach
with spacers, washers, and hex nuts as per Figure 1 and tighten snug to keep the mounting rail from moving.
11.Place the unassembled 5th wheel legs with cross member/slider/goose into the already installed mounting rail. Position the front
mounting rail with the 5th wheel legs with cross member/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 5th 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.
12.Mark and center punch the holes as per Figure 3. Move the rail out of the way and drill each position with a 1/8” drill bit. Warning:
When drilling holes be aware of potential risks to vehicle components and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from
damage.
13.Rotate the driver’s side (8) and passenger’s side (9) front brackets into place on the outside of the driver’s side frame rail, such that
the top and bottom bolt holes maintain clearance on top and bottom of the frame, while the middle hole aligns with the existing
frame slot. Placing the top of the bracket against the bottom of the truck bed. Check that the 1/8 inch drilled holes align with the slots
of the front frames brackets (8).
14.Enlarge the 1/8” inch drilled 9/16”. Warning: When drilling holes be aware of potential risks to vehicle components and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from damage.

16.Reposition the mounting rail with hitch over the holes.
17.Install the 1/2” x 2” carriage bolts with the U-shaped spacer to be located in the corrugation between the box and the mounting rail
or between box and frame bracket (8) & (9). This insures a metal to metal contact and to prevent crushing the bed corrugation.
Attach with spacers, washers, and hex nuts as per Figure 1 and tighten snug to keep the mounting rail from moving. Note: Use 1/2” hex head bolt (16) with flat washer (17) instead of 1/2” x 2” carriage bolts see Figure 1 and 3.
