Place one mounting rail in the bed of the vehicle. Center the rail on the floor of the truck bed and use your tape measure to
locate the proper distance from the rail to the rear edge of the truck box as illustrated on page 5, Figure 4.
NOTE: On the driver's side of the vehicle the gas tank is located below the bed of the vehicle.
When drilling holes through the bed be sure not to damage the fuel tank.

Use a center punch to mark the holes in the rail per the illustration. Use the center mounting hole as shown in Figure 4.
Move the rail out of the way and drill each position with a 1/8" drill bit.
7.
Temporarily position the frame brackets(Items 1 & 2) on the sides of the frame. Align the holes on the side of the bracket
with the 5/8" holes in the side of the frame. Check that the 1/8" drilled holes align with the slots in the frame brackets. If
not, re-position the 1/8" holes. Remove the frame brackets from the vehicle.
Enlarge the 1/8" holes to 11/16".
8.
Fasten the frame brackets(Items 1 & 2) to the vehicle frame rails as shown in Figure 3. Screw a 5/8" pull wire(Item 7) over
9.
a 5/8" x 2" carriage bolt(Item 3). Place a square hole spacer(Item 4) over the pull wire(Item 7). Insert the free end of the
pull wire(Item 7), bottom of Figure 3, into the large access hole on the inside of the frame. See Figure 3. Pull the threaded
end of the bolt(Item 3) out through one of the mounting holes. Be sure the square hole plate(Item 4) is over the bolt(Item 3)
and the square shank of the bolt is in the square hole. Place the bracket over the bolt(Item 3). Remove the wire(Item 7).

supplied carriage bolts that came with the rail kit. The 5/8" x 3-1/2" carriage bolt will be inserted down through the rail
and through the 1-1/4" long tube spacer. The bolt will come out through the center hole in the flange of the bracket. Use the
supplied 5/16" thick U-shaped blocks between the frame bracket and the bottom of the bed or the mounting rails and the
truck bed to ensure metal to metal contact. Install 5/8" serrated washers and nuts on the bolts. Finger tighten the nuts.

Place the unassembled fifth wheel support arches/slider/goose into the already installed rear mounting rail. Position the
forward mounting rail with the support arches/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 on the bed of the vehicle.
This will position the rail in the correct location and ensure that the 5
