To install, insert the bolts through the mounting holes located at the ends
of housings A and B, where they come together. Then, place the housings
back on the rail while guiding the bolts through the appropriate 1/2-inch
holes that you have drilled into the side rail. It is crucial to ensure that the
mounting bolts are seated all the way down into their square holes and
remain seated when connecting and tightening to the side rail. The
oversized 1/2-inch holes that you drilled will allow you to do this. Failure to
follow this step may cause the springs to catch on the bolts, preventing the
tailgate from going all the way to the ground and causing damage to the
springs.
4) Make sure that housings A & B are straight, even, and tight against
each other.
