STEP 12 - ADJUST PLATFORM (IF REQUIRED)
NOTE: Before doing the following proce-
dure, make sure vehicle is parked
on level ground.
1. Lower platform to the ground. With the
platform and fl ipover unfolded, raise plat-
form to bed level (FIG. 51-1). Measure
how much the outboard edge of platform
rises above bed level (FIG. 51-1). The
outboard edge can be a maximum of 1”
above bed level if bed height is 48” to 53”.
If bed height is 54” to 55” the outboard
edge is level (FIG. 51-1). If indication is
correct, Liftgate is installed correctly and
no adjustment is needed. If the outboard
edge is below bed level, do instructions 2,
3, and 6. If outboard edge is higher than 1”,
do instructions 4 through 6.
3. Weld shims (parts bag item) on both
platform stops (FIG. 51-3) to raise
outboard edge of platform to correct
position.

2. Compare measurement “A” (FIG.
51-2) with the distances and shims
in TABLE 51-1. For example: If
measurement “A” (FIG. 51-2) is
1” below level and you want to raise
outboard edge of platform 1” above
level, use 1/8” shim to raise 2”
(TABLE 51-1).
