Thanks! I’ll download those ones too!


That sounds like a rust issue for sure IMO! Maybe the body lift will help with trapped water between the body and the frame?

Is that the blocks that support the bed? The ones held in place with the push pin?

Yes. Its hard to get your hand up in there to feel for the rubber things you have to remove. In hindsight, If I had some mirrors it may have been easier.

So it’s just a flat rubber plug on top of the frame? Any bolts that for though them ?

Yea you remove the rubber piece in the frame, install the crush block, then put the rubber piece back in the middle of the crush block to hold it in place. (If that makes sense)

First and second. We don’t have to remove with the zone kit right ?

Also, while I’m here. What the heck do I do with that step spacer on the rear bumper ? How does it stay secure ? My particular hitch doesn’t have a bolt from the top down in the middle. It’s just the two centre ones

You take the stock body mount bolts off the truck, hammer the bolts out and replace with the longer bolts that are included in the kit. Then reinstall.

Folks! In need of assistance. I’m on to the front brackets and they have a curve on them. Which way do they face? The Zone instructions are good and all but.....

oh... that curve :) I don't remember. It has to allow the bumper to fit over it, or flush with it.

the video show the plate being flush when you are done installing that plate, so it would have to face back into the engine bay with the curve.
