2. Install the front and rear mounting brackets onto the
side bars using four M12 hex bolts, lock washers and
flat washers. Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.
See figure 1.
3. Loosen the front rear spring bolt enough to slide the
slotted, top edge of the rear bracket underneath the head
of the bolt. Note: Do not remove this bolt. See figure 2.
4. Place the rear of the side bar onto the spring bracket
and tighten the spring bolt until it holds the rear bracket
in place. See figure 2.
5. Hold up the front end of the side bar to the front of the
sub frame. Check to be sure the side bar is properly
aligned with the body and mark the holes to be drilled.
Procedure

hole. It maybe necessary to place the front mounting
bracket at an angle to miss this hole. See figure 2.
6. Drill the holes for the front bracket using an 8mm drill bit.
7. Secure the front mounting bracket to the sub frame
using four M10 self-tapping hex bolts, flat washers and
lock washers . Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.
8. Tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque
specifications on page 1. Repeat this process for
the passenger-side of the vehicle.
9. With the side bars installed, periodic inspections should be
performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
