CAUTION!

Read pages 2-3 of these instructions before starting installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage!

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS INSTALLATION:

1. Long and Short Brackets on Driver’s Side may need to be switched to avoid interference with exhaust hanger.

2. May need to move base rail location +/- 1/2” to ensure frame brackets do not interfere with bed sills.

CAUTION!

Check for obstructions before drilling. Failure to do so could result in damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.

Cequent Towing Products does its best to communicate tow vehicle manufacturer changes; however, it is ultimately the

responsibility of the installer to prevent damage due to installation.
