2. Assemble the Slidetrax ® clamps
by inserting the threaded T-nuts
into the clamps from the inside
and pushing them into place.
1. Position fender over tires. Use a 2”x4” block or other suitable
spacer to achieve desired clearance around tires. S.A.E.
recommendation is 3” minimum (below the ribs).
Note: If you have an air suspension make sure there is tire
clearance when the suspension is deflated.
NOTE: These instructions for installing Spray Master ®
and Spray Mate ® with Slidetrax ® fenders are intended to
be a general guide to help the installer. Because of the
large number of possible mounting
configurations, the installer is
responsible for the installation
design and for providing
adequate clearance
around the tire
carrier (i.e. tire
clearance, trailer
clearance, etc.)
These products may
not fit all truck models or
types of suspensions. Check
truck or trailer manufacturer for
suspension travel specifications.
Modifications to the brackets and/or the
fenders may be required. Any modifications
are at the discretion, responsibility and risk of
the installer.
3. Insert a mounting tube through a Slidetrax ® clamp to use as a
guide. On the frame
side of the fender, position
the clamp (with tube) on
the Slidetrax ® . Move the
clamp on the Slidetrax ®
as necessary to select an
existing hole or mark a
space on the frame to drill
a new hole.
Note: Be sure to follow truck
or trailer manufactureres
recommended procedures for
drilling any required holes in the
frame.
4. Once the position of the
mounting tube is chosen,
slide the other Slidetrax ®
clamp onto the tube, making
sure that they are square to
the truck frame, then mark
the positions of the clamps
on the fender.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 for the
other mount.
6. Remove the fender from over the
tire and place the Slidetrax ®
clamps on the fender at the
marked positions. Engage
the Slidetrax ® teeth and
firmly push clamps onto the
fender until they snap into
place. Once in place, rap
with a soft hammer to seat the
clamp into the Slidetrax ® .
Note: If clamp removal or reposition is necessary, an
outward rap with a soft hammer will disengage it.

7. Mount the mounting tubes to the truck frame according to the
instructions provided with the mounts.
Note: It may be easier to leave the bolts loose enough to allow
some movement until the final positioning of the fender.
9. Position the fender over the tires and secure in place by
tightening all bolts to the proper torque and installing the set
screws in the Slidetrax ® clamps and tightening to maximum
torque of 48 in. lbs. +/_ 3in. lbs. or 4 ft. lbs.
