Dragon, your thread convinced me to get these, and I got them today with powdercoat !!!

No bolts were shipped with my order, but I've sent an email and hope to hear back soon.

If I have to run to the hardware store to get them, I'm not too worried about it.

I think you'll dig them. ..especially for the $$

Sorry about that. We are sending a hardware kit via overnight UPS. You will have them Friday.

Do yourself a favor and clean the threads on the frame tonight since you have to wait for the bolts. I think it took me as long to clean those as it did to mount the sliders. BTW - you'll like' em. Trust us.

Done and done.

I thought i had some lock tight, but I can't find it, so I've got to make a run and go get some tomorrow.

I just got mine this week. You might ask for a little extra packing on the ends. Mine came well packed with minimal scratching. They look great, they are very heavy(well made). Putting them on this weekend.

mine are on. Everything lined up great. Used jack stands to hold em in place while I got the first couple of bolts in.

I may bend the brake line bracket. It hugging the bottom of the truck floor pretty good after I moved it.

I put mine on last week and LOVE them, wifey does too, except she's banged her shin a time or two since they tend to be a bit slick on top. I bought this safety tape at Lowes today, $3.87 for an 8 strip pack. It's the perfect size for two strips per bar and nearly invisible.

As far as those troublesome bolt holes, I pre-threaded all the bolts with NAPA anti-seize and they all went in fine. I ran them all the way in, then out, before doing the install. A pair of 5 gallon paint buckets worked perfect for holding them up.
