Installing the Base Plate
1. Examine the interior and exterior of the van for possible obstructions such as
rear air conditioning, heater vents, electrical wiring, spare tire, etc (Figure 2).
2. Examine the underside of the van for obstructions that could be damaged when drilling through the van floor:
fuel tank, frame rail, spare tire, wiring, etc (Figure 2 and 3).
3. Verify that the bed height of the van is not over 31-1/2".
4. Verify that mounting bracket kit matches (Figure 1 and Table 1) and that this kit is for your van.

5. Position the base plate in the van as described in notes A or B (Figure 3).
Note A: The base plate can be located by measuring 7-1/16" from the rear inside left wall of the
van and 3/4" back from the rear edge of the mat hold down.
Note B: The base plate can be located by measuring 7-1/16" from the rear inside left wall of the
van and 2-1/8" back from the closed door on the right side of the base plate. The base
plate should be parallel with the mat hold down, not the van doors.
6. Position the square washer plates under the base plate between the floor ribs, if needed.
The area around the mounting holes must be properly supported by the metal floor.
7. Check for obstructions before drilling in the next step.
8. Drill holes through the floor for the base plate, using the base plate slots as a guide.
Pay close attention to which slots in the base plate to use. The left two mounting
bolts will be close to the spring shackles and rear shock, but will be accessible.
9. Bolt the base plate to the vehicle floor using the hardware provided (Figure 4).
Be careful not to collapse the reinforcement rib when tightening the long bolts.
