Step 1 – Unpack QuickLIFT system and verify contents.
Remove all items from the packing tube. You should have the following before beginning:
* (2) Gas springs (RT-QL-170-A6A) – Be sure to cycle them a few times before installing.
* (4) #2-3/16″ Multi-grip rivets (used on hood brackets)
* (2) ball-studs and washers each with a locking nut.
* (2) mounting brackets
* Printed Color Instructions
* Gas Spring locking clips – (Already installed in the gas spring ball-ends – Remove before assembly)

* 3/16″, indexed #11 & 5/16″ drill bits
* Fine permanent marker or felt tip pen
* Tape measure or ruler
* Masking tape
* Hammer & center punch
* Rivet gun, capable of 3/16″ rivets (most brands can handle this size) Note: Only use the rivets supplied in the QuickLIFT system.

Step 3 – Mark centerline of fender bracket location.
A. Open and prop your hood.
B. Standing on the driver’s side in the middle of the engine compartment, examine the area on the inner fender lip. Note the overhanging fender mounting bolt. The centerline of this bolt should be used to align the ball-stud mounting bracket (offset 3/8” to the left or front of the vehicle). Back of bracket up against lip.
C. Place the bracket on the flat surface aligning either the left edge of the bracket with the metal shown below, or using the measurement shown to the right (centerlines offset by 3/8”).

Step 4 – Align bracket and mark hole for drilling.
A. Verifying the measurement from Step 3, centerline of bracket should be 3/8” to left of the fender bolt. You will need to view the mounting location directly from the top as shown in Figure 4A. The bracket should sit with the left edge aligned with the metal lip shown in the photo and the ball-stud pointing inward toward the engine.
B. Holding bracket in place, mark the center of the right hole using a permanent felt tip marker.
C. Set bracket aside. Using a center punch and a hammer, tap the center of the mark you just made (Figure 4B).
