INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Inspect liftgate. Report any questionable condition to the carrier that delivered the unit.
2. Place the truck on flat level ground and block the wheels to prevent possible truck movement during liftgate installation.
3. Remove the rear bumper and bumper brackets from the truck. Remove the tailgate, latches and pivots from the rear of the truck box.
4. Remove tail light screws from the lenses. Pre-drill new holes through the lens into the truck body to accept, 2, #8 self tapping screws per lens. (See Fig. 1) If there is no lip on the truck body to secure the lens to, use the lens mounting bracket and the 5/16-18x ¾ bolt to form an alternate lip. Bolt bracket through existing threaded hole in the tail light compartment. Make sure these screws will be accessible once the liftgate is positioned. NOTE: The tail light lens screws will not be accessible once the liftgate is installed if this step is omitted.
5. Install “S” hooks into 5/8” holes in liftgate posts. Hang liftgate with a chain using a hoist or forklift. (See Fig. 2) “S” hooks and chain, customer supplied.
6. Position the liftgate in the truck bed so the mounting lip (See Fig. 3) of the liftgate is on the edge of the truck bed and pushed into the truck bed as far as possible. Center the liftgate in truck bed loading area.
