Introduction
Installation of our 2020+ HD GM Bedside Rack System is very straight forward, making use of factory mounting locations with zero modification to your truck. Getting the panels installed should take 10-20 min per side with simple hand tools but deciding how you'll situate your gear (the fun part) can take as long as you'd like.

Installation
Prepping the Bedside:
- Remove Plastic Bed plugs:
- There are three plugs on each side.
- Use a pick tool or flathead screwdriver if needed.
Prepping the Panel:
- Assemble the Panel:
- Insert a 5/16 bolt with a black washer through the tab in the panel, through the mounting block and thread slightly onto the channel nut.
- Leave the channel nut loose for now.
Installing the Panels:
-
Front Panel Installation:
- Install the front panel loosely first. Place channel nut and mounting block into the bedplug holes. Tighten until channel nut falls into mounting block and secures the panel to the bedside.
-
Rear Panel Installation:
- Install the rear panel after the front panel is loosely in place using the same method as the front.
Connecting and Tightening:
-
Connect Panels:
- Use button head screws to connect the front and rear panels at the threaded inserts.
-
Tighten Bolts:
- Tighten the three mounting bolts securing the panels.
Attaching Bumpers:
- Install Push Rivets and Bumpers:
- Locate the "rib" feature on the bed, and place push rivets and bumpers to spring the panel off the bedside.
Final Steps:
- Ensure all bolts and panels are securely installed.
Youre done!
