If a truck bed cover is already installed, remove the cover completely before beginning the Elevate TS Rails installation.
Then, follow the instructions below, paying special attention to 6A, 6B, and 6C.

1. If installing tie-downs, additional accessories, or rack system
   Install t-bolts (B) by sliding them into the Elevate TS Rails (A).
   Do this for both driver and passenger rails.

2. With provided set screws (D) and Allen key, install front and rear end plugs (C) on both driver and passenger sides.
   Do not overtighten.
   

3. Install rail end plug seals (E) to the bottom side of all 4 rail end plugs.

5. 5A
   If NOT installing a truck bed cover
   Install clamps (F) to finish mounting your Elevate TS Rails (A) to the truck bed. Start in the middle and evenly space 3 clamps along the rails (A). You should leave approximately 8” on each end of the rail. Finger tighten the clamps, making sure the teeth properly engage with the grooves of the side rail. Then tighten all clamps with a  1/2” socket or wrench. 5B If NOT installing a truck bed cover
   If your Elevate TS Rails (A) tip up after installation, make sure your clamps (F) are as high up as possible; if they are, evenly install shims (G) on both rails.
   5C If NOT installing a truck bed cover
   If your Elevate TS Rails (A) tip down after installation, install the wedge seal (H) onto the pre-installed seal that comes on the Elevate TS Rail (A).
   
   THIS IS THE END OF THE RAIL INSTALLATION WHEN NOT INSTALLING A TRUCK BED COVER.
   6A If installing WITH a truck bed cover
   Before mounting your truck bed cover with Elevate TS Rails, you will need to use some of the seals provided to fill in gaps where needed. Remove the existing weather seal from your truck bed cover rails and replace it with the seal (I) provided.

   Install a piece of seal (J) to the inside of the truck bed flange on both driver and passenger truck bed rails.
   
   Lay the seal (J) starting at the edge of the Elevate TS Rail (A).
   Trim the seal flush with the truck’s bulkhead. When installed correctly the seal will lay flat and not wrap around the corner.
   The length of this seal will vary with the model of the truck.
   Lay the seal (J) starting at the edge of the Elevate TS Rail (A).
   Trim the seal flush with the truck’s tailgate. When installed correctly the seal will lay flat and not wrap around the corner.
   The length of this seal will vary with the model of the truck.
   6C If installing WITH a truck bed cover
   If your truck bed rail has a self-leveling lip on it install a piece of seal (K) to the top of the bed rails. Lay the seal starting at the end plug of the truck bed cover rail. Trim the seal flush with the end of the truck bed cover rail assembly. The length of this seal will vary with the model of the truck. When installed correctly the seal will lay flat.
