hydraulic jack and a wooden block, slowly lift the
passenger’s side of the cab just high enough to
place the spacer blocks on the mounting pads.
Be sure to continually check for any hoses, wires,
cables, etc. that may be binding. Double-check
the brake lines and the tube on the driver's side
to be sure that there is enough slack to continue
lifting. Remove the front mounting pad from the
vehicle. Using a 1/2" drill, drill the threads out of
the bushing sleeve. This will allow the new bolt to
slide all the way through the sleeve. Replace the
bushing on the vehicle. Place the spacer blocks
on top of the stock rubber mounting bushings.
For the front cab mount at the core support, insert
a 12mm x 180mm bolt with the 7/16" USS
washer from the bottom through the stock bottom
washer and rubber cone under frame mount,
through the stock bushing on top of the frame
mount, through the spacer block, through the
core support, and through the stock top washer.
Install the stock nut on the bolt. Do not tighten.
For the mount at the front floorboard, insert a
12mm x 140mm bolt with a 7/16" USS washer
from the top through the stock top washer,
through the body, through the spacer block,
through the stock bushing on top of the frame
mount, through the bottom bushing cone and
stock washer under the frame mount. Install the
stock nut on the bolt. Do not tighten. For the
mount at the rear of the cab, insert a 12mm x
160mm bolt with a 7/16" uss washer from the top
through the stock top washer, through the body,
through the spacer block, through the stock
bushing on top of the frame mount through the
bushing cone and stock washer under the frame
mount. Install the stock nut on the bolt. Do not
tighten. Be sure that all stock washers,
bushings, and other mounting hardware
(except the stock bolts) are being used and
are in the original locations. Do not tighten.
Lower the body onto the spacer blocks. Remove
the jack from the passenger’s side of the cab.
19. Repeat step 18 for the driver's side of the
cab. Realign the cab and bed (refer to the
measurements made earlier). Tighten all cab

of Loctite® or similar adhesive on all mounting
hardware.
20. Remove the screws that mount the fuel filler
neck to the body. The filler hose will need to be

Remove the tow hook from the vehicle.
Disconnect the license plate lights from the rear
bumper. Remove the two bolts that mount the
rear bumper brackets to the frame. Remove the
rear bumper from the vehicle.
22. Loosen, but do not remove all eight (six on
short bed models) bed mounting bolts. A t-55 torx
socket is required to loosen the bed mounting
bolts. Remove the bed mounting bolts on the
passenger’s side of the bed only. Using a
hydraulic jack and a wooden block, slowly lift the
passenger’s side of the bed just high enough to
place the spacer blocks on the frame. Be sure to
continually check for any wires, hoses, cables,
etc. that may be binding. Insert the new mounting
bolts with a 7/16” washer from the top through the
body, the spacer block, and threading into the
stock nut that is attached to the frame. A 12mm x
200mm bolt is used in the front bed mount, and
12mm x 180mm bolts are used in the other
locations. Do not tighten.
