These things seem to be a pain in the butt to install. Any pointers?

 

Test fitted before paint. None of the holes line up

 

The presure created from forcing the holes to line up, holds the tops against the body. Take your wheels off to get at the screws head on and it will be easy. I added some double sided 3M tape along the top edges to protect the paint underneath. Good luck dude.

 

This times 100, I took mine off on my old truck and found out that all my paint underneth was scratched to high H.E double hockey sticks and was literally falling off.

 

The back holes are like an inch off and the creases the mold to the body are off too it fits great when I just lay it up there just don't line up. Did you have that problem with the back

 

That's why I had mine installed at 4wheel parts store. 40 bucks after buying 6" lift kit 2200.00 so they made me smile

 

What do I do? Lol

 

Drill new holes..haha. If you are going to keep them on the truck forever just make your own holes

 

What did you do for yours?

 

Mine actually were made for my truck and lined up right on...mine are also EGR flares not bushwacker like yours...i did lose one of the clips and will have to drill a hole to secure it...its on the back so itll be easy
