If equipped, Remove factory Nissan step-rails using a 14mm wrench or socket. They are attached by 2 bolts in each of 2 places to the frame.

Use thread chaser or tap to chase all threaded holes in frame that will be used to mount P&P Engineering Rock Sliders. This is especially important for any holes that were previously not being used. E.g. 3rd member mounting locations.

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 line up the mounting holes on the mounting bracket with the threaded holes in the frame.
Note: Driver side slider will be stamped with ‘D’ on the front mount bracket.

Install 10MM bolts in the upper mounting hole of the front & rear mount plate plate to hand tight.
Note: “Upper mounting hole” refers to the uppermost hole for the pattern that fits your truck. Either no body lift or 2” body lift. Holes for use with 2” body lift will be stamped with a “2”.

(Optional) If equipped Install 10MM bolts in the lower mounting hole of the middle mount plate to hand tight

Install 10MM bolts in the remaining holes to hand tight.

(Optional) If equipped, Torque 10MM bolts in the upper mounting hole of the center mount plate using a 17mm wrench or socket to 20-26 ft-lbs. Followed by the lower mounting hole of the center mount plate.

Torque 10MM bolts in the upper mounting hole of the front and rear mount plate using a 17mm wrench or socket to 20-26 ft-lbs.

Torque 10MM bolts in the lower mounting hole of the front and rear mount plate using a 17mm wrench or socket to 20-26 ft-lbs.

Using same pattern re-torque all bolts to 50-55 ft-lbs.
