Ford SuperCrew F-150 2004-2008 SuperRail Mounting Kit #3113 PDF Manual

Truck Preparation
1. Check part quantities using the Parts List on Page 2.
2. Block vehicle wheels. Some vehicles may require you to raise the rear of the truck in order to make it easier to drill for installing the mounting brackets on the truck frame.
3. Remove the spare tire and tailgate.
4. You may wish to remove the wheels to give yourself greater working room.
5. Remove the bolts that attach the receiver hitch support bracket to the frame on 2004-2005 model year trucks.
NOTE: On 2006-2008 models, the receiver hitch support bracket is welded to the frame. For this reason, we have included four rear mounting bracket nut plates {Q} to aid installation.

INSTALLATION TIP:
Use penetrating oil on the receiver hitch support bracket bolts to aid in their removal as they may gall and cause the nut holder to break. There is an access hole on the inside of the frame that will help you reach the nut side of the bolt. Use a hand wrench to remove these bolts, but if you should break one of the factory nut brackets, we have included four 9/16” frame bolts {P} as a replacement. Do not use the original bolt with the rear mounting bracket nut plate provided by PullRite as the original is metric. If you have purchased a template, proceed to the “Template Method” below; otherwise, begin with the “Layout Method.”

Marking Bed for Drilling
Layout Method See Ford Truck Bed Dimension Table under Layout Method on Page 4 for the dimensions. Measure and mark from the back of the bed forward, the values for “A” and “B”. Do this at any point on both sides of the bed. Draw a line across the bed from mark to mark. Find the centerline of the bed. Draw a line down the middle of the bed from front-to-rear. Center the measurement of “C” across the centerline at the front-most line you made in step 2 and mark the measurement on each side (parallel to the centerline). Center the measurement of “D” for the rear most line made in step 2, and again mark the measurement on each side (parallel to the centerline). This will locate the 4 drill holes. Lay the template in the truck bed, centering it from side-to-side, and parallel to the end of the truck bed using the dimension “X” listed in “Truck Bed Dimension Table” on Page 4. Mark the 4 holes, while making sure the template does not move.

Detailed Installation Instructions Use transparent tape to cover the mounting post hole on the top of each mounting bracket (when the pilot hole is drilled through the bed, the tape will be pierced by the small drill; it should be positioned in the center of the 1” mounting post hole). 2. Install the rear bracket nut plates {Q} by clipping them onto the frame as seen below. 3. Align the rear driver side mounting bracket {B} flush to the frame using the provided nut plates to attach it. Fasten the mounting bracket flush to the frame (some mounting brackets may have a slight warp due to the metal characteristics during the welding process) by using either a clamp or by inserting a fastener through the mounting bracket in the existing frame hole(s). Do not overtighten—you will be removing the brackets in later steps.
