Well I ordered them a few weeks back, they came in last night while I was at work.
So I got home to them, now on to install...
First unbox inspection them for damage and complete with all parts, bolts and instructions. Read the instructions twice (picture #1)
Follow them until you get to step #3 then throw away.? Now on to learning experience. Don't trim away plastic bumper yet, you only need to notch it out in places. I followed instructions on right side ? bumper didn't need trimmed other than notched out.
Mount frame rail brackets loosely but not sagging just so you can slide them around.
Hold side rail up in place mark area needing notched out. Set it down then cut away small section then refit it just trimming away until you can start the bolts that mount to back side of bumper (bolts screw in to plastic).
After you have it trimmed to fit the 2 bolts in and slightly snugged up start the bolts on frame brackets. Run the bolts all the way to the point you can just slide around to adjust for fit and square up side rails.
Square the rails, tighten up frame brackets then rails bolts to frame brackets. Check for square / or how you want them to set.
