BED EXTENSION AND CHASSIS CUT
•
Before installation, verify the vehicle rear sill will support the required loads.
•
Remove all objects that are mounted in the overhang / mounting space required by the liftgate (ICC, spare tire carrier, pallet racks,
toolboxes
, walk ramps etc…).
•
The installation can be a standard mount whereby the bed extension is added behind the rear sill of the vehicle body. Or it can be a
flush mount [Contact DHOLLANDIA for guidance], whereby the bed extension is integrated into the vehicle floor.
•
For standard mounts, remove dock bumpers, steps, or any protrusions that would prevent the bed extension from being mounted
flush against the rear door sill.
•
Follow the chassis cut dimensions given below. Trim the chassis beams, long sills, rear sill to the indicated dimensions.
•
It is possible to mount the lift at a higher ground clearance
mpg
; or at a lower ground clearance (e.g. to fit within a shorter mounting
space). Ask DHOLLANDIA to confirm the required chassis cut dimensions, as these might change in relation to the new ground
clearance
mpg
. See contact information on page 4.
