Rock-Slide Engineering RAM STEP SLIDER - Manual (Page 3)

Installation Instruction RSEI 108
1. Remove the black rubber pieces covering the factory mounting holes on the bottom and
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
