WARNING

Prior to drilling, so as not to cut or puncture fuel tanks, fuel lines, electric

wires, etc., check under vehicle for locations. All oor mounting bolts near the

gas tank area should be installed from the underside of the vehicle, to guard

against the gas tank being punctured in the event of a collision. This would

mean not using Blind Fastener in this area. Holes drilled in this area should be

3/8".

Before marking the leg mounting holes, check inside the box for location of

gas spring housing and components that may obstruct safe drilling. To keep

debris out of your eyes when checking the underside of the vehicle, or when

drilling, always wear protective eyewear.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Note: • If your truck bed is constructed of aluminum, use zinc rich primer to coat drilled holes. • Periodically check tightness of mounting bolts to ensure proper attachment. • Use touch-up paint on any drill holes to prevent oxidation. • If your pickup is fitted with a plastic drop-in bed liner, it may need to be drilled, trimmed, or cut for proper installation of truck box. • Install boxes with vehicle parked on level ground.

STEP 3 Attach Box to Truck Bed Note: • If you encounter interference with the mounting clamp and a stake pocket in the truck bed, it may be necessary to drill a 1/2” hole in the truck box and use the “J” bolt instead of mounting clamp. • It is recommended that all fasteners be tightened hand tight first to ensure fit, then go back and fasten securely with wrench. • Mounting clamp bolt may be difficult to turn due to “lock nut” feature.
