back of the cab pinch seam. The back of cab pinch seam has 6 factory holes in pairs of
two
2. Insert a nutsert with a ½” washer into each of the holes and crimp into place
a. We suggest using a crimping tool to optimize the integrity of the nutserts to
support the slider
b. If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions
i. Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’ nut
ii. Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction
iii. Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert is flush
against the body panel
iv. Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place
v. If the nutsert is rotating, place a star-lock washer between the 3/8’’ nut
and nutsert
vi. Once the nutsert is crimped into place completely back out the bolt
vii. If the nutsert ever breaks loose and spins, repeat the process and crimp it
tighter to prevent spinning
Nutsert properly installed

3. The top bracket will be installed first
4. Line up the top bracket front hole to the first factory pinch seam hole towards the front
of the cab
5. Hold the bracket up against the truck panel matching the body angles. Position the
bracket so that the back of the bracket is up against the panel seam. This should leave
the top of the bracket in approximately a level position when installed on the truck,
providing a level bracket for the slider to sit on
6. Bolt the bracket to the truck using the 7/16” bolts and a 7/16” washers. Bolt through
the bracket into the nutsert for each hole on the top bracket
7. Attach the top bracket to the truck
a. Hang bracket on truck and bolt through bracket into the nutserts. Leave bolts
loose until all bolts are installed. Go back and tighten bolts until the bracket is
firm against side of truck
Top bracket installed correctly
