Once all (2) Driver side mounting brackets are installed, then proceed to the Step Bar installation. (Figs 6 & 7)

2. Install (2) M8X1.25-35mm Carriage Bolts in (1) Slider.
3. Slide the Slider (with carriage bolts) to the Step Bar.
4. Repeat to install the other (1) slider to the step bar.
5. Attach the Step Bar (with the Sliders) onto the installed mounting brackets. Position the Sliders to the installed brackets. Secure the Step Bar to the installed Brackets by using (4) M8 Large Flat Washers and (4) M8 Nylon Lock Nuts and (2) Sliders, (Fig 7). Do not fully tighten hardware at this time.

STEP 7
Line up the Driver Front Support Bracket (DFS) with the back of the pinch weld, (Fig 8). Push the Support Bracket up as high as possible to where the pinch weld meets the floor panel. Do not fully tighten hardware.
Check the Step Bar for level. Once properly aligned and adjusted, tighten all hardware. IMPORTANT: If the Support Bracket is too low and close to the edge of the pinch weld, loosen the Support Bracket and front Bracket hardware. Push the Bracket and Support Bracket up a little into position against the floor panel and away from the edge of the pinch weld, (Fig 8). Level and adjust the Step Bar properly and tighten all hardware.

STEP 8
Use the hole in the Support Bracket as a guide to mark the drilling location on the back of the pinch weld, (Fig 8). Once you have marked the location, temporarily remove the step bar, the front Mounting Bracket and Support Bracket. Remove the plastic clips securing the plastic rocker cover to the rocker panel.
Use a 5/16” drill bit and carefully drill the marked location.
NOTE: The plastic rocker panel cover may need to be trimmed to clear the hex bolt for the Support Bracket. IMPORTANT: Any cutting or drilling tool may break or shatter. Government regulations require safety glasses & equipment at all times when cutting or drilling.

Attach the Support Bracket to the pinch weld with (1) M8X1.25-35mm Hex Bolt, (2) M8 Large Flat Washers, (1) M8 Lock Washer and (1) M8 Hex Nut, (Fig 9). NOTE: Insert the M8 Hex Bolt with (1) M8 Large Flat Washer through the pinch weld first, then through the Bracket.
Cut the rocker panel cover as required and reinstall the cover with the factory plastic clips. Reinstall the Step Bar.
