ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

STEP 1

Start the installation under the Driver/Left side of the vehicle.
Locate the 5 tabs along the bottom edge of the body, (pinch weld). Mounting Brackets will bolt to the 1st, 3rd and 5th mounting tabs (Fig 1). Directly above each tab is a top mounting location on the side of the rocker panel. Hold a Bracket up in place to help determine the mounting holes to use.

STEP 2

Determine the correct procedure for your model year and each Bracket location.

Bottom mounting location on the edge of the pinch weld.
Flat tab on pinch weld with factory installed weld nut:
Thread hex bolt into weld nut from the backside-down to clear paint from threads.

Flat tab on pinch weld with hole:
Select (1) 8mm Clip Nut. Slide the Clip Nut over the tab with the nut facing up behind the tab (Figs 2 & 3). Line up threaded nut with hole in the tab. Repeat for each mounting location.

Locate top mounting location on the back side of the rocker panel.
Models with factory installed threaded insert in rocker panel:
Thread 8mm Hex Bolt into threaded insert to clear paint as required (Figs 2 & 3).
Large and small hole in side of body panel:
Remove the rubber plug from the larger hole (Fig 4). Select (1) 8mm Clip Nut. Slide the Clip Nut into the larger hole. Line up the threaded nut with the smaller hole.

Installation Instruction

STEP 6

Move to the Passenger/Right side of the vehicle. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with a plastic diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank **(Figs 7 & 8).

**

Models without DEF tank, skip to STEP 7.

Models with DEF tank: The tank sits close to the side of the body. With specialized tools, the Passenger/Right Front Upper and Lower Mounting Brackets can be installed but room is very limited. Determine model year of vehicle before proceeding.

Up to 2016 models:
It may be easier to drop the tank down to access the inner side of the body panel for upper bracket installation. Tank will not need to be removed, only dropped down for access to mounting location.

IMPORTANT: If tank is full, it will be very heavy and assistance is highly recommended to avoid injury or damage to the vehicle or the tank. It is recommended that installation is performed when the DEF tank is low on fluid before dropping the tank.

a. On models with plastic lower tray under the tank, remove the (3) hex bolts attaching the tray to the frame (Fig 7), and remove the tray.
b. Release the tank filler hose. Release the plug for the sending unit on the top of the tank.
c. Support the tank with a floor jack. Place a smooth flat surface, (wooden block for example), between the floor jack and the tank to avoid damaging the plastic tank. DO NOT push up on the tank; only support the weight of the tank with the jack.
d. Remove the (2) bolts securing the tank straps to the vehicle (Fig 8). Tilt the straps to release from the brackets. Slowly lower the tank until the top of the tank is almost visible. Use blocks or stands to support the tank while installing the Front Upper and Lower Brackets.
e. Proceed to STEP 7.

On 2017 models and on:

a. If necessary, remove the (4) hex bolts attaching plastic cover to DEF tank (Fig 9) and remove plastic cover for better access.

NOTE: On 2017-on 2500/3500 models, only remove plastic cover from DEF tank. DO NOT lower DEF tank and proceed to STEP 7.

STEP 7

Locate the first tab on the edge of the pinch weld. Select the Upper Bracket (Fig 10). Repeat STEPs 2 & 3 to attach the Passenger/Right Front Upper Mounting Bracket to the side of the rocker panel (Fig 11). DO NOT tighten hardware.
Installation Instruction

STEP 8

Line up the hole in the bottom of the Upper Bracket with the hole in the tab on the pinch weld.

a. Models with a weld-nut: Slide the Bracket over the weld-nut.
Attach the Lower Bracket to the bottom of the body and weld-nut with (1) 8mm Hex Bolt, (1) 8mm Lock Washer, (1) 8mm Lock Washer, (1) 8mm Flat Washer and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut (Figs 11 & 12). DO NOT tighten hardware.

b. Models with flat tab and hole: Insert the 8mm Bolt Plate down through the hole in the Upper Bracket and tab. Attach the Lower Bracket to the bottom of the body and Bolt Plate with (1) 8mm Flat Washer and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut (Figs 13 & 14). DO NOT tighten hardware.
Installation Instruction

STEP 9

Secure the front of the Lower Bracket to the Upper Bracket with (1) 8mm Hex Bolt, (1) 8mm Lock washer and (1) 8mm Flat Washer (Fig 15). DO NOT tighten hardware.
Installation Instruction

STEP 10

Repeat STEPS 1-3 to attach the remaining (3) Mounting Brackets to the Passenger/Right rocker panel.

STEP 11

For 2017 2500/3500 DEF tank models: Locate the 2nd mounting location along the bottom edge of the body, (pinch weld) (Fig 1). Hold the DEF cover in place and mark the 2nd Bracket location onto the cover (Fig 16A). Use a sharp knife or hacksaw blade to carefully cut a slot in the plastic cover to clear the 2nd Bracket (Fig 16B). Remove as little plastic as possible.
