4.2.1
Mount frame clearance
- Determine the correct mounting clearance according to your specific lift and chassis.
- With long overhangs it is even more important to maintain Max ground clearance.
o
GROUND CLEARANCE = BOTTOM OF LIFTGATE FRAME TO GROUND
- Determine if you need to move chassis U-bolts or if you have any other interferences, then
proceed with installing the liftgate slide rails to the frame
IMPORTANT (Truck Installation):
- Before start of installation make sure body long rails are connected to truck frame
welded with flat bars and secured against forward movement of the body
o
If body and frame are not connected lift gate might push body forward
Bed height =top of bed to floor when air bags are
inflated and on flat ground (dim "Y")
Mount frame clearance = dimension from back
of truck to spring / tire or air ride suspension components
that would interfere with liftgate installation (dim "X")
