Hauler Rack II - Universal Truck Series Racks Assembly Instructions
Before you begin:
Remove all components from the shipping carton.
The rack should be assembled on a padded surface such as carpet to prevent scratching of aluminum surfaces. Remove bands securing components together.
Read the instructions thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the assembly sequence.
Note that you DO NOT tighten any nuts and bolts until the completed rack is installed on the vehicle unless specified. This allows for minor adjustments to the rack during the installation process.
Gather the following tools used to assemble and install the rack.
NOTE: If you have a 97-09 Chevrolet or GMC fullsize truck, you will need to change the feet with p/n
SPBKIT-1 due to possible stake pockets interference.
1. Connect front and rear sections
Each side rail side contains a front and rear section preassembled for easier assembly. The front and rear sections are banded together.
Remove the banding and separate the front and rear rail sections from packaging. On a flat surface, place boards under the front and rear rail sections as shown so that the rear ‘H’ bracket does not touch the ground. This will make aligning the front and rear rail sections faster. Insert the front rail section into the 5” bracket mounted on the rear rail section and line up the holes.
Note the orientation of the other carriage bolts on rail assemblies. For the top round tube, use a 3/8”-16 x 1-3/4” carriage bolt, 3/8” split lock washer and a 3/8”-16 nut, install hardware finger tight. Repeat for other side rail. For the lower rectangle tube, use (2) 3/8”-16 x 3” carriage bolts, (2) 3/8” split lock washers and (2) 3/8”-16 nuts, install hardware finger tight. Repeat for other side rail.
