1. Open both doors to 90°.
2. Locate center of door opening
(between doors). Mark the
center point.
3. Transfer center point to the
vehicle frame. Using a front-
to-rear framing member as a
guide, transfer the center point
across chassis to opposite side
front-to-rear framing member
(must be 90° to door opening).
Lift mounting bracket positions
are based on this center line.
4. Measure 22-3/8" to left and
right of the center line to
achieve the 44-3/4" center-to-
center spacing of all-thread
mounting studs.
5. Clamp the mounting brackets
securely in place (all-thread
studs must be vertical).
