pocket (if not already exposed).

mounting bracket. Make sure threaded hole is
not obstructed (Figure 1).
Thread the 3.25” long bolt into the bracket
assembly, and lower it into the stake
pocket.NOTE:Some brackets are driver/
passenger side specific.
Make sure nut clip is facing into the bed of
the truck, and is centered in hole of bed wall
as seen in Figure 2. (Using blue loc tite is
recommended in order to ensure all bolts stay
