1. Start by supporting the truck on 4 jack stands. The truck should be sitting on approximately the same angle as it does on the ground, or slightly lower in front.
2. Remove all the old front suspension components, including the leaf springs and the engine mounting rails. Also remove the spring perches from the frame rails. Leave the front crossmember in place.
3. Boxing the rails is next. The rails should be squared up as far as the flanges are concerned and made straight and true. The boxing plates are then laid up against the rails and clamped in place. Weld short sections at a time in alternating locations to minimize warpage. Grind smooth when done. See Figure 1.

The JackRabbit is designed to carry rainwater from the cover into the canister and then out through the drains. Most truck models have standard OE drain holes or plastic/rubber access ports in the front of the truck bed. Check to make sure your truck has the OE drain holes so that drilling into the sheet metal is not required. If drilling is necessary, be sure to check the underside of the truck bed for the best location. The holes should be located near the side and as far forward as possible. Use a drill bit suitable for sheet metal (such as a taper drill or step drill). Drill drain tube clearance holes at 3/4” (19mm). This will need to be done before installing the cover.
