bolts and square hole plates into the frame. When installing frame rail brackets, ensure there is no gap between the frame rail brackets and
the truck bed.
19.
Starting with the hex bolts that fasten the rails to the frame brackets thru the bed, torque all the nuts. Torque the hex bolts positioned in the
center of the rails. Torque the fasteners that attach the frame brackets to the vehicle frame then all remaining fasteners.
1/2" fasteners to 75 (ft-lb.) 102 (N*M) Torque the 5/8" fasteners to 150 (ft-lb.) 204 (N*M).
