 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 nuts & bolts 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 fifth wheel hitch to be sure that there is clearance at the cab and at the bumper to allow for turns.

1. Lower and remove spare tire if extra room is needed for the installation.

2. On 2005 to 2010 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 3a. Remove the flange nut from the outside of the frame and

keep for later use. See Figure 3b. Rotate the tubes up and out of the way. Install the L-bracket (6) with 1/4” hardware (3)(4)(5), as shown in Figure 3c. Tighten the L-bracket (6) to the frame, but leave the tube holder loose to aid bracket installation.

3. On 1999 To 2004 Vehicles Only. Temporarily remove the emergency brake cable hangers from the frame of the truck and keep

the hardware. See Figure 4a. Also disconnect the bed safety cable and re-install in an available nearby hole once frame bracket is installed. See Figure 4c.

4. 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 box as illustrated in Figure 5. See page 1 for mounting the brackets to the rails. See below for mounting the brackets to the frame.

5. Mark and center punch the holes as per the illustration in Figure 5. 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, such as brake lines and fuel tanks, to vehicle components and make appropriate safe guards to protect them from damage.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Loosely install the frame brackets as follows:

a. For 1999 - 2004 vehicles: Use the hardware removed in Step 3 to attach the upper brake cable to the frame bracket as

shown in Figure 4b.

b. Position the frame bracket (14) as shown in Figure 1.

c. Attach the bracket to the frame of the vehicle with the 1/2” X 4-1/2” Bolts(8) 1/2” nuts(1), 1/2”conical washers(2), and

clamps(7) as shown in Figure 1. Hand tighten the nuts only.

d. For 2008 and to 2010 trucks: Use the slot in the frame that is over the axle to attach the frame bracket with the 5/8”

carriage bolt(9). Make sure to use a 5/8” spacer(10) between the bracket and frame. See Figure 1. Attach the 5/8”(9) bolt to the inside of the frame with 1/4” x 1-1/2” x 3” spacer(11), 5/8” lock washer(12) and hex nut(13). Finger tighten

only.

e. For 1999-2007 trucks: Use the slot in the frame that is under the rear bed support to attach the frame bracket with the

5/8” carriage bolt(9). The 5/8” spacer(10) should not be used between the bracket and frame. See Figure 2. Attach the 5/8” bolt(9) to the inside of the frame with 1/4” x 1-1/2” x 3” spacer(11), lock washer(12) and hex nut(13). Finger

tighten only.

9. Reposition the mounting rail over the holes.

10. Install the 1/2” x 2” long carriage bolts with the U-shaped spacer to be located in the corrugation between the box and the rails.

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 metal 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 conical washers, and nuts as per the Figure 1 and tighten snug to keep the mounting rail from moving. Attach the carriage bolt in the middle with a conical washer and nut.

11. Place the unassembled fifth wheel legs/slider/goose into the already installed mounting rail. Position the second mounting rail with the legs/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.

12. Repeat the previous steps for the other side of the vehicle.

13. 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 8 hardware to 110 ft-lbs (149 N*m) and the 5/8” Grade 8

hardware to 212 ft-lbs (287 N*m).

14. On 2005 to 2010 Gas Engine Vehicles Only. Use the factory flange nut that was removed in Step 2 to tighten the tube holder

onto the L-bracket (7) as shown in Figure 3c.

15. Reinstall spare tire if it was removed.
