SUGGESTED SLIDE INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
MIDSIZE TRUCKS

STEP 1
Place frame on DECKED system. Determine
if your slide frame’s cross brace (the steel
strap mid-frame) mounting holes align
with the locations of the steel tubes in the
DECKED system. (The location of the steel
tubes in the deck halves are indicated by a
series of dimples).
STEP 2
If these holes do not align precisely on center
with the DECKED steel tube you will need to
either re-drill your slide frame’s cross braces
or weld on another cross brace. Use same
thickness steel as manufacturer’s (shown is
¼” thick x 2” wide). We spray-painted this
for rust prevention.
HARDWARE NEEDED:
·4 —2” x 5/16” #18 bolts — McMaster.com part #91247A591
·8 —5/16” sealing washers — McMaster.com part #94708A413
·4 —Thin hex nuts — McMaster.com part #91847A030
·12 —5/16” washers

NOTE: Make
sure to use
bolts (rod
plus thread)
NOT screws
(thread only).
CAUTION: Ignoring the sealing washers
could lead to water intrusion. If you plan on
using a tonneau or cap over the slide install,
you can omit using the sealing washers as
there won’t be a water risk.

STEP 3
Locate steel tube on deck panel that is closest to the cab. Mark center line.
STEP 4
Center the slide’s cabside bottom frame holes on this line (front-to-back and left-to-right).

NOTE: Dimples indicate
location of steel tubes.

STEP 7
If necessary, remove HDPE plastic from around pilot hole with a hammer and chisel.
STEP 5
With cabside slide frame holes centered, drill
cabside pilot holes with a 3/32” bit.
STEP 6
Check to make sure pilot holes are centered
(top and bottom) on steel tube. To insure
hole is centered, drill gradually with a series
of smaller bits (3/32,” 11/64,” 9/32”) to get
to final size of 5/16.”

WARNING: Adding slides or making any other modifications to the DECKED system may put you or others
at risk of bodily harm. Although we believe that this installation technique is valid, we do not guarantee
that any slides or installation techniques will work satisfactorily in all cases. Additionally, installation
procedures may vary by slide model, and these instructions are intended only to provide general
guidelines rather than a comprehensive set of installation instructions for all models of slides. Installing
slides on, or making any other modifications to, DECKED systems is entirely at the risk of the installer.
We do not recommend using any slide with a capacity >1000lbs, overloading a lower rated slide, or
ANY full extension slides.
