Bought nerf bars and no instructions on how to install them. They are for a 97 f150 extended cab 4x4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't believe they are frame mount but not 100% on that.

What kind are they?? If they're Westin or from Ford they'll bolt right up to the frame. Have you looked at the frame to see where they'll mount up?? I'm guessing that they're not Westins because they're always a direct fit.

they look wussie, mine have a bar that runs from one end to the other that bolts to the frame in places between the ends.

Yeah the definitely aren't Westin and they're definitely not from Ford.

Ty

its a good thing that they are not from ford, they rust out in about 5 years.

hey i have the same exact problem if u get an answer please please slide it my way

Simple.... The brackets with the two studs sticking out get slid into the frame along the underside of the truck. Then you bolt the brackets to the studs, then the bars to the brackets... Leave the nuts on the studs loose so you can move it around, etc...

The oval hole is for the bar.... You can only really put them on one way... Cheaply bolt one together before install and just go under your truck and you will see where it all goes.

Well?
