Mine were from my old 04 truck. I used the rear pieces on that truck and saved the front ones as spares. When I got my 09, I trimmed the AVS front ones to fit my rear 09 sills.
That's why I said way back on Page 1 of this thread that you can even get the front OEM sill protectors and trim them to fit the rear sills. I remember 04 guys on the forums doing that all the time. When I say trim, all you need to do is just make one cut to make them shorter since the front ones are longer than the rear ones.

you receive a full set, with 4 units of it, 2 small for the rear seats, 2 large for the front ones. no trim needed.

Sorry everyone! It's been a very busy last couple weeks for me. I have 3 days off coming up soon, and will address this to my dealer. At lunch today, I will run outside and snap a few pictures for you all as far as how mine are.
I also bought a motorcycle last week, so that's been eating up my spare time.
To those of you who are waiting for me to get back to you as far as to what the dealer says, If you have the same situation as me, you can just as easily call your dealer too. I'll try and give mine a call within the next couple days, but if you are desperate for an answer, then give your's a call.

Here are pictures, finally.
Drivers side, without sill protector over the paint. And then passengers side with sill protection over the paint. My dear doors down not have anything, just the passenger side door.

This almost seems to be a quality control issue, as some have them on their 2010s and some do not. No apparent rhyme or reason, other than it got missed on the assembly line.

Exactly what I'm thinking. But this is a huge deal. If they forgot so many of these, then what else did they forget?

Well the build date and the build location don't have anything to do with it. My buddy just picked up his FX4 Screw today and it was built in Kansas City like mine also with a date of 02/11 and his does not have the rear sills? There seems to be no ryhme or reason as to what trucks they put them in.
