Utility Body Mounting NOTE: Utility body must be of sufficient strength to withstand the forces the liftgate will put on it. The body must be capable of withstanding a 1500 pound pull, 20 inches above the truck body floor. Reinforce as needed. 1- Remove tailgate and all hardware that will interfere with the placement and mounting of the lift gate. The liftgate foot print in Figure below must be clear of tailgate, hinges, latches and other obstructions that would prevent the liftgate from being located against the back of the truck body.

Liftgate Foot Print. This Area Must Be Clear

2- Mount the utility body “mounting brackets” to the liftgate stationary posts using !-13 x 1” bolts with flat washers and lock washers on each post. Adjust brackets so they will be snug to the inside of utility body side walls when the liftgate is centered in the opening. With the liftgate centered in the bed opening, tighten the bolts securing the brackets to the posts.
3- Push the liftgate into the truck bed and assure the gate is tight against the truck bed floor and the posts are against the utility body. Check that the mounting brackets are snug to the inside of the body walls, if not, repeat step 2. Bolt the mounting lip of the liftgate to the truck bed by drilling 3/8” holes in the truck bed using the square holes in the liftgate as guides. Place (5), 3/8x 1 3/4” carriage bolts through the square holes, through the truck bed. Secure using, flat washers, lock washers and nuts from underneath the truck bed. (ref. FIG. “A”) 4- Once the gate is bolted to the bed floor, square the posts with the floor of the bed and to each other. Important! The posts must be parallel and square, fore and aft, with each other to prevent binding, rough operation and unequal lowering and raising of the deck. Once the posts are square drill 3/8” holes through the brackets, through the body walls. Bolt the gate to the utility body walls using 3/816x1!” bolts and flat washer, placing the “bracket backers” inside of the body and secure with lock washers and 3/8-16 nuts. Note: the “bracket backers” may have to be cut to fit the configuration of the body interior. FIG. “A” Utility Body 3/8-16x1!” (8) Bolts w/Flat Washers Utility Body Mounting Brackets (2)
