So these were estimated to be delivered around August 7-10 but they actually came in earlier today!
Hopefully I can find time to install them this weekend and post some pics!

So on Saturday I had everything ready to go and install, truck on jacks for easier access and laid everything out to find out I was missing all of the smaller brackets that slid onto the underside of the running boards. I seriously contemplated just throwing it together without the brackets but I decided it would be better to do it right. I called this morning about getting the brackets I needed and was told they would contact me later today. They didn't so now I have to call again tomorrow and see what's up.
The running boards looked really awesome out of the box though.

Edit: So the brackets should have been here Friday (8-9-19) so I called Friday afternoon and they weren't even shipped out of the warehouse yet, they apologized and assured me they would be shipped. So another week of these steps sitting on my garage floor. This has been my first time ordering an Aries product and as nice as their customer service is I feel they really dropped the ball with this.

So I finally got the steps on! The brackets I were missing are the small ones that slide under the rail which I forgot to snap a pic of the underside of the rails. I had a buddy come over and give me a hand but this could easily be done with one person. We put the truck on jacks just to make it a little easier then used a drill and whiz wheel to get the paint off the bolts and was just putting it all together after that. The quality is good and I think they look awesome. Hopefully they hold up for a long time.
