Step 1 – Locate legs on truck bed

Locate on the truck bed where the front and rear legs will be positioned. The ideal positions for the legs are as far
forward for the front legs and as far rearward for the back leg.

You will need to have open access underneath the top of the bed surface for mounting the legs and load plates to the
bed.

Check for obstructions in mounting the legs to the truck bed such as stake pocket holes or limited access to the
underside of the top surface of the bed.

Check for function of tailgate or interference with the cab of the truck. Adjust as needed.
The spacing between the centers of the bolt holes is 4-1/2”.
Place tape over the desired positions.
Place a leg on top of the tape and position the leg to the desired location on the top surface. For best results, use a

tape measure so each legs is positioned equally with the other side.

Using a marker, mark the outline of the leg and two mounting holes onto the tape.
Place the load plate over the two holes marked holes above and mark the third hole.
Mark the centers of all three holes.
Repeat for all legs
