11. Install the 1/2 in. x 2 in. long carriage bolt (11) in the center hole of the rear rail as show in Figure 1. Place a u-shaped spacer
(12) (above or below the bed depending on corrugation), and attach the bolt with a 1-1/2 in. x 2 in. block (16) , 1/2 in. lock
washer (10) , and hex nut (6) on the bottom.
12. Place the unassembled fifth wheel saddles/slider/goose into the already installed mounting rail. Position the second (front)
mounting rail with the saddles/slider/goose by inserting the tabs into the mounting rail and pushing the mounting rail tight
towards the other mounting rail. Ensure that the mounting rail is centered between the weld seams on the length of the truck box
floor. This will position the mounting rail in the correct location and ensure that the fifth wheel will have a snug fit to the truck.
NOTE: If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails, then both should be used at the same time to align the
second rail. This will ensure that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
13. Repeat Steps 4, 5, and 6, using the front frame brackets (1) (3) . The bracket should be just rearward of the next bed support.
14. Loosely install the front frame brackets as follows:
a) Place the front brackets on the outside of the frame as shown in Figures 1 and 2. A portion of the frame brackets will be
under the bed support.
b) Install a u-bolt (5) on each of the brackets (1) (3) . The u-bolt wraps around the inside of the frame. Loosely install 1/2
in. conical washers (7) and hex nuts (6) onto the ends of the u-bolts (5) . NOTE: The u-bolt on the driver side must be
placed between the brake line and the frame. See Figure 2. Improper placement of the driver side u-bolt may
result in damage to the vehicle’s braking system. Move the electric wires out of the way.
15. Install the 1/2 in. x 2 in. long carriage bolts (11) and u-shaped spacers (12) in the front row of the rail as show in Figure 1. Place
the u-shaped spacers between the rail and the bed (above or below depending on bed corrugation). To attach the carriage bolts
to the front frame brackets
(1) (3) , use 1/2 in. conical washers (7) , 1/2 in. lock washers (10) and hex nuts (6) . Install 1/2 in. x 4 -
1/2 in. bolts (13) in the rear 2 holes. Use a 2 in. long bolt (11) in the center hole. Insert the 2-1/16 in. long tube spacers (15)
between the bottom of the bed and the frame bracket (1) (3) . Install the u-shaped spacers (12) between the rail and the bed
(above or below depending on bed corrugation). Install 1/2 in. conical washers (7) , lock washers (10) , and nuts (6) on the bolts
(13) .
16. Tighten the fasteners in the following sequence: 1) torque the mounting rails to the frame brackets, 2) torque the frame brackets
to the truck frame.
Torque all 1/2 in. Grade 5 hardware to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m).
17. Reattach the wiring harness to the inside of the drivers side frame. Use the cable tie, if necessary.
18. Reinstall spare tire, and the exhaust if it was lowered in a previous step.
