IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS INSTALLATION:
1. Tube spacer and 4 1/2” carriage bolt used to attach through rearward Bed Sill (Row 3).
2. **Rib neck bolts will need to be pulled through access holes in frame with supplied pull wire (see below). Wire
extensions will need to be added on to the pull wires for the forward rib bolts.
4. It is very important that
brackets in Row 2 are close to

Due to dimensional instability in
Bed Sill placement with the
Dodge truck, interference could
result when drilling in Row 3.

double check all areas prior to
drilling.

needs to be used when
