Step 4: Raise the body of the vehicle slightly using a floor jack. Be sure to lift near a body support
to prevent any damage to your vehicle. (Fig B)
Step 5: Hold the guard up close to vehicle to identify which body mounts line up with the cut out slots
on the bottom of your rocker guard. Set guard to the side and carefully remove the body mounts
and sleeves that line up with the slots. (Fig C)
(Fig C) (Fig D) (Fig E)
Step 6: Cut 3/16” off the top of each of bushings you removed using a hack saw, grinder or some other
cutting tool.( Fig D)
Step 7: Insert bushing and sleeves back into previous frame locations.
Step 8: Position rocker guard up against vehicle, lining up the slots on the bottom of the guard with the
body mount bushings. The slots go right under the top of the sleeve and above the rubber
bushing. (Fig C, E) Slowly lower the body back down on the frame.
Step 9: Clamp the rocker guard to the body using quick clamps or something similar. Check to see if guard
is level. Use a marker or scribe to mark the mounting location along the side of the vehicle. (Fig F)
Step 10: With care, remove the clamps and the rocker guard from the side of your vehicle. (You may have
to lift the vehicle body with the floor jack again) Center punch all of the previously marked holes.
Step 11: NOTE: Check to make sure there are no wires or other obstructions on the inside of the body
before any drilling. Drill out the marked holes using a 3/8” drill bit. (Fig G) After the holes are
drilled clean off any burrs or debris. We recommend using some kind of touch up or clear coat to
cover the exposed metal.
