There is an opening slot on one side of the tailgate ball joint mounting plate. Slide the mounting plate onto the loosened bolt, which is located between the tailgate and the washer on the bolt. Insert a round-head bolt through the hole in the tailgate ball joint mounting plate and screw it into the tailgate.
Remove the tailgate cable from the bolt. Use a T50 Torx socket or the provided wrench to remove the cable bolt. Insert the bolt removed in the previous step through the hole in the ball joint mounting plate and reinstall it.
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 tailgate auxiliary components will be close during opening/closing. The arrows in the diagram indicate the installation locations for the polyester film. The vehicle shown in the image is only an example of a polyester film mounting. Your vehicle may differ from the one shown.
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 rear bumper ball joint mount.
