Apply the provided glue to the ball end nut threads. Use a 13mm wrench/socket to install the ball end into the backplate blind nut. Tighten it to 8 lbs torque using a 13mm socket. Use a torque wrench to install the ball end, ensuring the blind nut is fully in place.
Use the provided wrench to remove the original vehicle cable bolts. Remove the tailgate cable from the bolts. Use a torque wrench to install the ball joint bracket, ensuring it is securely installed.
We provide polyester film to prevent parts from sliding on the truck bed and tailgate. Apply the polyester film to the truck bed and tailgate, especially where the tailgate auxiliary components will be close during opening/closing. The arrows in the diagram indicate where to install the polyester film. The vehicle shown in the diagram is only an example of polyester film installation. Your vehicle may differ from the one shown in the diagram.
Reattach the cable to the cable bolts and install the thicker end of the shock absorber onto the upper ball joint mount. Install the thinner end of the shock absorber onto the tailgate ball joint mount.
