11.
Install the 1/2 in. x 2 in. long carriage bolt
(12)
(above or below the bed depending on corrugation), and attach the bolt with a 1-1/2 in. x 2 in. block (16), 1/2 in. lock
washer (10), and hex nut
12.
Place the unassembled fifth wheel saddles/slider/goose into the already installed rear mounting rail. Position the second (front)
mounting rail with the saddles/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 between the weld seams on the length of the truck box
floor. This will position the mounting rail in the correct location and ensure that the fifth wheel will have a snug fit to the truck.
NOTE: If more than one hitch product will be used with the rails, then both should be used at the same time to align the
second rail. This will ensure that one product does not compromise the fit of the other.
13.
Repeat Steps 4 and 5 using the front frame brackets
all five holes to 9/16".
14.
Paint all bare metal.
15.
Loosely install the front frame brackets as follows:
a)
Place the front brackets on the outside of the frame as shown in Figures 1 and 2. A portion of the frame brackets will be
under the bed support.
b)
Install a u-bolt
in. conical washers
placed between the brake line and the frame. See Figure 2. Improper placement of the driver side u-bolt may
result in damage to the vehicle's braking system. Move the electric wires out of the way.
16.
Install the 1/2 in. x 2 in. long carriage bolts
Place the u-shaped spacers between the rail and the bed (above or below depending on bed corrugation). To attach the carriage
bolts to the front frame brackets
1/16 in. long tube spacers
in the rear 2 holes. Use a 2 in. long bolt
(above or below depending on bed corrugation). Install 1/2 in. conical washers (7), lock washers (10), and nuts
(13).
17.
Tighten the fasteners in the following sequence: 1) torque the frame brackets to the truck frame, 2) reinsall the unassembled fifth
wheel saddles/slider/goose, 3)
Grade 5 hardware to 72 ft-lbs (98 N-m).
18.
Reattach the wiring harness to the inside of the drivers side frame. Use the cable tie, if necessary.
19.
Reinstall spare tire, and the exhaust if it was lowered in a previous step.
