INSTALLATION

1. Lay your Side Steps out and put them on the correct side of the vehicle. The raised mount goes towards the rear of the truck. (Fig A)  

2. On one side of your vehicle, find the cab mount bolts. There are three 3/4” Bolts that can be seen from underneath the vehicle. Refer to Fig B. Remove these three bolts.  ​

3. Hold your step in place, then secure it to the frame using the bolts you removed in Step 2. (Fig C) If the rubber pucks dropped off the mounts when you removed the bolts, please arrange them as shown in Fig D  ​

4. Align the Side Step so that it is centered left to right and sits straight in relation to the bottom of the doors. Then, tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specification.

5. Repeat Steps 2-4 on the other side of the vehicle.

6. Stand back and enjoy your new ADD Lite Side Steps.
