PARTS LIST:

PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

2. From underside of vehicle, remove the passenger side front body mount bolt, steel washer (if

equipped), and rubber bushing, (Figure 1).

3. Select the passenger side front Mounting Bracket. Insert the factory body mount bolt through

the Mounting Bracket and into the steel washer, (if equipped), and rubber bushing. Hang the

Mounting Bracket in position by partially threading the factory body mount bolt up into place,

(Figure 1). Repeat this step for passenger side Center Support Bracket, (Figure 2), and rear

Mounting Bracket, (Figure 3). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.

VERY IMPORTANT! There are several different designs, (depending on model year),

for the factory steel body mount bracket. The front Sidebar Mounting Brackets can be

switched, driver side to passenger side, to provide additional clearance between the

gusset on the Mounting Bracket and the factory steel body mount bracket welded to the

frame. The front Mounting Brackets however, are not interchangeable with the rear

Mounting Brackets. To prevent unnecessary noise, adjust the position of the

Mounting Brackets so that the Brackets do not come in contact with the factory

steel body mount bracket.

4. Carefully position the passenger/right Sidebar up to the Mounting Brackets. Attach the Sidebar

to the Mounting Brackets with the included (2) 1/2” x 2” Hex Bolts, (2) 1/2” Lock Washers and

(2) 1/2” Flat Washers, (Figure 1 & 3). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.

IMPORTANT ALERT: GM uses a very strong thread-locking compound on all body bolts. Use of an air assisted impact ratchet can cause damage to the threads on factory body mount bolts and the internal nut assembly because of this thread locking compound. We only recommend the use of hand tools to slowly remove and reinstall body mount bolts on all GM vehicles.
