STEP 7: INSTALLING THE CLAMPS
Slide the Clamp Grip onto the Clamp Extension toward the Shim Bracket and
(Fig 7A and 7B).
Then assemble the rest
of the clamp parts as shown on the next page
(Fig 7D).
Now tighten your clamp turn knobs hand tight. Finally, check for proper spacing by measuring between the rails by
attempting to insert the BR Gauge in between the rail metal and the handle stop
(Fig 7E).
You can also check the
between the rail measurement at the canister and the tailgate end of the rails. The measurements should be equal to
or less than those in Figure 7C. The Clamp Extensions have been pre-installed with brackets and shims to achieve the
proper Between the Rail dimension (BR) when placed on an average factory truck bed. However, not all truck beds are
average dimensionally and some have optional plastic caps or over the rail spray-in liners.
