If equipped, Remove factory Nissan step-rails using a 14mm wrench or socket. They are attached by 2 bolts in each of 3 places to the body.
Remove frame mounted vibration damper using a 14mm wrench or socket. They are mounted on the frame above the leaf spring hanger.
Insert frame sleeves through slotted holes from inner side.
Note: The frame is wider at the front than the middle, so the frame sleeves for the front are denoted with a stamped ‘F’
Set up jack stands behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel, place the slider between them under the rocker panel.
Using the jack stands to support the weight of the slider slip the hole in the front and middle slider mounting brackets over the frame sleeve.
Note: Driver side slider will be stamped with ‘D’ on the front mount bracket.
(Optional) Apply an anti-seize compound to the non-threaded portion of the bolts to prevent oxidation and corrosion of the bolt to the frame sleeve. If applied to the threads modified torque values are required.
Insert the 16MM bolt through the center mount from the outside and lightly install the washer and nut by hand.
Insert the 16MM bolt through the front mount and lightly install the washer and nut by hand.
Install 10MM bolts in the rear mount plate and the vibration damper using a 17mm wrench or socket torque to 20-26 ft-lbs.
