Default issues with rampage slimline nerf bar

So I just received my rampage bars today and upon installing them I discovered that they will not line up to the holes on my truck and so they will not attach at all. Curious if anyone else has had this problem and had a solution for this thanks!

I was originally going to get those but I had seen a lot of people using these with no issues and the price was better. But now it probably will be nfabs.

Couple people have said that the holes in their truck were incorrect so they wouldn't line up.

Also make sure you're trying to install them on the right side of the truck.

My rampage stirrups bolted right in

Well according to the instructions they say to put the long end in the front and short in back which I tried doing. I can get one pair of bolts in but once I try for the other it pops back out

So get one bolt through the hole and throw a nut on it. Then pop the next one in with a nut. And so on.

The holes on my truck were a little tight so I drilled them out slightly and everything fit.

Oh trust me I tried that. I've been looking online and am noticing now that some people seem to have longer bolts than mine. Mine are maybe an inch long versus others whos look like two inches

I remember that issue. Contact your retailer or rampage and exchange for the correct ones. Mine were definitely the longer bolts.
