REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ON MODELS WITH DEF TANK, SELECT A FLAT, LEVEL AREA FOR INSTALLATION. MAY REQUIRE CUTTING.

1. STEP 1
   Start the installation under the driver/left side of the vehicle. Locate the 2 tabs along the bottom edge of the body, (pinch weld). Mounting Brackets will attach to the factory running board mounting tabs (Fig 1). Directly above each tab is a top mounting location on the side of the body panel. Hold a Bracket up in place to help determine the mounting holes to use along the body.
   

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

3. STEP 3
   Select (1) Mounting Bracket.
   NOTE: (3) Brackets are universal and will fit both driver/left and the passenger/right rear location. See illustration above to help determine correct Bracket. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Clip Nuts and/or the factory threaded holes with (2) 8mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock Washers and (2) 8mm Flat Washers (Fig 5). DO NOT tighten hardware.

4. STEP 4
   Move to the rear mounting location along the body panel and repeat STEPS 1-3 to install the rear Bracket (Fig 6).

5. STEP 5
   Select the Driver/left Sidebar. Carefully position the Sidebar onto the (2) Mounting Brackets.
   IMPORTANT: DO NOT slide, (front to back or rotate), the Sidebar on the Brackets or damage to the finish may result. Attach the Sidebar to the (2) Brackets with (4) 8mm Combination Hex Bolts (Fig 7). DO NOT fully tighten at this time.

6. STEP 6
   Level and adjust the Sidebar and fully tighten all hardware.

7. STEP 7
   Move to the Passenger/Right side of the vehicle. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with a plastic diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank (Figs 8-10).
   Passenger/Right Side Installation Pictured Models without DEF tank, skip to STEP 8.
   Models with DEF tank: The tank sits close to the side of the body. With specialized tools, the passenger front upper and lower Bracket 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 body side 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.

   • On models with plastic lower tray under the tank, remove the (3) hex bolts attaching the tray to the frame (Fig 8), and remove the tray.
   • Release the tank filler hose. Release the plug for the sending unit on the top of the tank.
   • 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.
   • Remove the (2) bolts securing the tank straps to the vehicle (Fig 9). 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.
   • Proceed to STEP 8.
   • On 2017-on models:
   • Remove the (4) hex bolts attaching plastic cover to DEF tank (Fig 10) and remove plastic cover (Fig 17).
     NOTE: On 2017-on 25-3500 models, only remove the plastic cover from the DEF tank. DO NOT lower or remove the DEF tank and proceed to STEP 8.

8. STEP 8
   Locate the first tab on the edge of the pinch weld. Select the Upper Bracket (Fig 11). Repeat STEPS 2 & 3 to attach the top of the passenger/right front Upper Bracket to the side of the body panel (Fig 12). DO NOT tighten hardware at this time.

9. STEP 9
   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 (Fig 12). Attach the Lower Bracket to the bottom of the body and weld-nut with (1) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolt, (1) 8mm Lock Washer and (1) 8mm Flat Washer (Fig 13). Leave loose at this time.

   • Models with flat tab and hole: Insert the 8mm Bolt Plate (Fig 14) down through the hole in the Upper Bracket and mounting tab (Figs 15 & 16). Attach the Lower Bracket to the bottom of the body and Bolt Plate with (1) 8mm Flat Washer and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut (Fig 13). Leave loose at this time.

10. STEP 10
    Attach the Lower Bracket to the side of the Upper Bracket with (1) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolt, (1) 8mm Lock Washer and (1) 8mm Flat Washer (Figs 13 & 16). Leave loose at this time.

11. STEP 11
    Repeat STEPS 1-4 for the Passenger/Right Side Rear Bracket installation.
    NOTE: Cradles on Brackets installed on passenger side will face forward.
    2017-on 25-3500 DEF tank models: Hold the DEF cover in place and mark the center Bracket location onto the cover (Figs 17 & 18). Use a sharp knife or hacksaw blade to carefully cut a slot in the plastic cover to clear the center Bracket as necessary (Fig 18). Remove as little plastic as possible.

12. STEP 12
    Repeat STEPS 5 & 6 to install the Passenger/Right Sidebar.

13. STEP 13
    Once the Sidebar has been installed and all hardware fully tightened, reinstall the DEF tank and cover, if equipped, as described in STEPS 7 & 11.
