Using a 5/8th socket, go ahead and remove the (2) rear body mount bolts [5th row].
*You may have to hold the lower portion of the bolt while unbolting it from the top side.
You may need to use a rubber mallet to force the lower mount out.
Lift up the rear mat/carpet in order to gain access to the 4th row of body mounts. Then, using a 5/16th socket remove the (2) body mount bolts.
*If the lower body mount doesn't drop out, go ahead and screw in the provided removal cup in order to remove the old mount. Or you can use a hammer to push it down from above.
Remove the door floor trim molding from both the driver and passenger side using a phillips head.
Remove the lower seat belt molding on both sides. Then pull the carpet back and remove the plastic covers from body mount locations to gain access to the 3rd row of body mounts.
Using a 5/8th socket, go ahead and remove both body mount bolts.
*If the lower body mount doesn't drop out, go ahead and screw in the provided removal cup in order to remove the old mount. Or you can use a hammer to push it down from above.
Now, move on to row 2 which is located on the front floor boards (driver & passenger side).
Lift up the front portion of the carpet to gain access. Then remove the plastic plug.
Using a 5/8th socket and extension, go ahead and uninstall the factory 2nd row body mounts.
Use the large removal cup to remove the lower portion of row 2 body mounts.
Now, let's move up to the front core support to remove the Row 1 body mounts.
To remove these body mounts, you'll need a couple long extensions and a 5/8th socket. Both of these mounts can be loosened from the top by unbolted the factory nut and leaving the unique washer in place.
*Please leave the factory front washers (2) in position as they'll be needed when we install the S&B body mounts.
While still at the front core support body mounts, once you've removed the top nut, go ahead and unbolt the factory bolts from underneath using a 5/8th socket.
Next, using a floor jack and extension, go ahead and jack up the driver side of the vehicle in order to remove the upper factory body mounts.
*Important: Be sure that you're jacking up the vehicle from a stable reinforced point of the body, such as a pinch weld. Also, we recommend using two jacks at a time to even raise one side of the body at a time.
*Important: Do not jack up the vehicle too high as this may result in damaging radiator hoses, brake lines, steering, etc. Go up to where you can barely get the upper body mount off its post.
Take the Hex Shaped S&B Body Mount and install on the front core support mount.
*Each body mount includes a red paper separator: the components above the paper are the upper mounts, and the components below the paper are the lower mounts.
Then, proceed on installing the upper body mounts for the remaining rows.
Once done, you can lower the drivers side of the vehicle.
Next, proceed to the passenger side and start by jacking up the body similar to what you did on the drivers side.
*Important: Be sure that you're jacking up the vehicle from a stable reinforced point of the body, such as a pinch weld. Also, we recommend using two jacks at a time to even raise one side of the body at a time.
*Important: Do not jack up the vehicle too high as this may result in damaging radiator hoses, brake lines, steering, etc. Go up to where you can barely get the upper body mount off its post.
Take the other Hex Shaped S&B Body Mounts and install on the front core support mount.
*Each body mount includes a red paper separator: the components above the paper are the upper mounts, and the components below the paper are the lower mounts.
Then, proceed on installing the upper body mounts for the remaining rows.
Once done, you can lower the passenger side of the vehicle.
Before you begin, ensure that both front core supports have their factory washers in the factory position before installing the provided bolts.
Then install the lower portion of the body mounts.
Now, go ahead and take the provided body mount bolts that came with the S&B kit and feed them in through the top of every body mount.
Then, using a 15mm socket go ahead and tighten down the 10 bolts.
*You will need various extensions for the front core support mount bolts.
Torque every body mount bolt to 60 ft.lbs..
Once all bolts are torques to specification listed above, go ahead and reinstall the body mount cab caps and re-install the trim pieces that were uninstalled earlier in the install.
Do one last visual inspection ensure that every mount has a top and bottom and that they're correctly seated, both to the body but to the frame.
Your installation is complete.
