I have a dumb question...I assumed LH was driver side, hope I was correct? Thanks for the video! Tips on torque spec and washers were helpful. I torqued to 35 psi. I set each board on a long blanket just under the bolts on garage floor, then I laid on my back and lifted each one over my head as I slid under the truck further, until board was on my chest. Then I very carefully lifted it up and set the holes onto the bolts. It went much easier than I expected.
