Step 1 - Unpack QuickLIFT kit and verify contents.
Remove all items from the packing tube. You should have the following before beginning:
* (2) Gas springs (RT-QL-200-7A) - Be sure to cycle them a few times before installing.
* (8) 3/16″ Multi-grip Rivets - #1 Short MG.
* (2) Large steel brackets - fender
* (2) Small steel brackets - hood
* Printed Color Instructions
* Gas Spring Locking clips - (Already installed in the gas spring ball ends - Remove before assembly)
Step 2 - Gather the required tools.
Please gather the following tools before you begin the installation:
* Power Drill
* 3/16″ or indexed #11 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 kit.
Step 3 - Mark centerline of hood bracket location.
A. Leave your hood closed.
B. Using a piece of masking tape and a permanent marker, carefully measure from the hood’s corner (near windshield) and measure along the fender line. Wrap the end of the tape measure over the corner lip and place a mark on the hood masking tape at 23 -1/2″.
Step 4 - Align bracket and mark 1st hole for drilling.
A. Align the center of the bracket with the mark you just made on the hood. You will need to view the hood directly from the side as shown in Figure 4A. The bracket should sit on the hood frame’s angled side with the ball stud facing down or toward the vehicle - Figure 4B.
B. Holding bracket in place, mark the center of the lower hole using a permanent felt tip marker. Be sure the bracket is straight and aligned closely to the frame’s edge.
C. Set bracket aside. Using a center punch and a hammer, tap the center of the mark you just made (this indention will help guide the drill bit and keep it from wandering).
