Side Bars

Upon opening the box the running boards came in I could instantly tell the care that was taken with packing them. Everything was packed and wrapped to ensure that there would be no damage during shipment. Once removed from the box, you could instantly see and feel that these are a high quality item that is going to stand the test of time. Install was pretty straight forward via the instructions on Real Truck's website. The only thing I had a tough time with was getting the nut plates into the rocker panel for the center brackets on both sides. There is not as much room inside the rocker as there is in the front and back mount positions and I had to spin the backwards to get them into rocker, the reorient them to the correct position once inside the rocker. Hard to explain exactly, but not hard to do or figure out on your own. The hardware is really nice and I even received an extra nut plate and screws to hold the running boards to the mounting brackets. All in all, they look great on my truck and are very sturdy when stepping on them (there is no deflection of the mounting brackets). I would highly recommend these!
