1. Read the instructions completely before beginning installation. A floor jack and basic hand tools are needed.
2. Disconnect the battery and remove the airbag fuse.
3. Remove the trim securing the carpet down at the doors so you can access the body mount bolts. On Super Cab and Super Crew Cab models you must remove the rear seat. Remove cab plugs to gain access to the cab mount bolts.
4. All POSITIONS - Remove the bolts from the passenger side body mounts and loosen the driver’s side body mount bolts, but do not remove them.
5. POSITION 1 - On the front radiator support bolts, you will need to remove the upper nut on the inside of the radiator support and then you can loosen the lower bolt. A 24” extension with a universal swivel and an 18mm socket works well for this on most trucks. You might need to have someone hold the mounts with large adjustable pliers while you loosen the bolts. On some models, the front bumper must be removed to access the bolts.
6. Using a floor jack, carefully place the jack on the passenger side floorboard support mounts and lift high enough to remove the body mounts. Make sure the cab is securely supported with jack stands before working under the truck or removing any mounts.
7. ALL POSITIONS - Remove and replace the passenger side body mounts one at a time. Take care not to mix up the pieces. The upper and lower mounts are clipped together on the frame and you may have to use a pair of large screwdrivers to pry the mounts off.
8. ALL POSITIONS – Install kit body mounts on kit steel mounts, Assemble the kit components as shown.
9. ALL POSITIONS – When installing the new assemblies onto the frame, make sure they are seated into the frame and centered in the hole.
10. POSITION 1 – Install kit body mount M04060-02 on the top, and kit body mount M04060-01 along with kit washer S10126 on the bottom. Run the bolt in from the bottom and start it but don’t tighten it yet. Start the upper nut on the radiator support but don’t tighten it yet.
POSITIONS 2, 3, & 4 – Working on one position at a time, install kit body mount M04060-02 on the large kit steel top half and kit body mount M04060-01 on the small kit steel bottom half. Start the bolts but do not tighten.
Repeat steps 4 through 11 for the driver’s side.
11. Tighten all bolts in an alternating cross pattern (as with tightening wheel lug nuts) until you can feel the stock metal shells seat together (around 45-55 ft. lbs.). Tighten the top nut on the radiator core support mount last.
12. Reinstall the body cab plugs, and if removed, reinstall the seat, trim, and upholstery.
13. Reinstall the airbag fuse and reconnect the battery.
