The box the bars came in got molested by Fed-Ex, however the bars were so well packaged that they did not sustain any damageand were in perfect shape...It actually took me about 10-20 Min just to get all the wrapping and foam off of them Haha.
I flipped through the manual for a few min just to get familiar with the bars and hardware, then busted open the hardware bags and made sure I had all the needed nuts and bolts, that the manual said I would need, and to my surprise I had everything and then some. All fasteners as I recall were grade 8.
So after inspection I grabbed the creeper and slid up under the truck with brackets, and all hardware for one side tucked away in the cubby's on my creeper and the driver side bar laying near the driver door.
After removal of the tape covering the mounting holes in the frame, I simply installed the supplied brackets into the frame rail, put the plastic keepers on the bolts to keep the brackets in place and hoisted the first step bar into place and loosely installed the first 3 nuts, after this it was all gravy.
Total time to install the driver and pass side bars was about 1.5 Hours, which included getting the tools needed out of my box, which as I recall was a 13mm Deep Socket and ratchet, 13mm Wrench, 10mm Socket and 10mm Wrench...
These bars are heavy duty and the mounting brackets do not flex at all when I step on them, so had my 240lb buddy hop on them a few times the other day and they don't budge.
All in All I give them 5 Stars on everything from price, packaging, quality of finish, ease of install and sturdiness.
You cant beat $300 for a set of running boards, and they are so easy to install anyone can do it, altho it would be a little easier with a 2nd pair of hands to help lift the bars into place.
