PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

2. Starting at the passenger side-front of the vehicle, remove the tape covering the factory oval
holes in the passenger side inner panel located by the front tire.

3. Next, partially thread a Plastic Retainer onto the threaded end of a Bolt and Nut Plate, (Fig

4. Once you have assembled the Plastic Retainer onto the Bolt and Nut Plate, insert the Bolt and

Nut Plate into the factory oval hole. Once the Bolt and Nut Plate is inserted, hold the Bolt end
with one hand and tighten the Plastic Retainer with your other hand. NOTE: Tighten the
Plastic Retainer until it reaches the side panel, (Figure 2).

installed Bolt Plates. Secure it with (2) 12mm Flat Washers, (2) 12mm Lock Washers and (2)
12mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 3). Do not tighten at this time. Rotate the Bolt and Nut plate until the
Nut end lines up with the remaining hole in the Mounting Bracket and body. Thread (1) 10mm
x 35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm Flat Washer and (1) 10mm Lock Washer into the threaded nut.
Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.

7. Remove the passenger side front factory body bolt. Select the passenger side Front Support
