Prior to drilling, so as not to cut or puncture fuel tanks, fuel lines, electric
wires, etc., check under vehicle for locations. All oor mounting bolts near
the gas tank area should be installed from the underside of the vehicle, to
guard against the gas tank being punctured in the event of a collision. This
would mean not using Blind Fastener in this area. Holes drilled in this area
should be 3/8".

Before marking the leg mounting holes, check inside the box for location of
gas spring housing and components that may obstruct safe drilling. To keep
debris out of your eyes when checking the underside of the vehicle, or when
drilling, always wear protective eyewear.
