Do u think the two brackets per running board is good enough???? I bought a nice set of take offs and I've seen some have 3 brackets per running board.
@ericrose17444 ай бұрын
This set was also a set of factory take offs and it was only installed with two brackets. Two should be fine but three wouldn’t hurt. I ran them for several months without an issue.

I'm having an issue with the 2 front ones that were already on the truck... can't get the bolts in been using WD40 to try and clean it up any othet remediation
@ericrose17445 ай бұрын
Tough to say without knowing exactly what’s going on. There may be an alignment problem on the holes, threads on the bolts or nuts may be gunked up. If they thread in but not past a certain point maybe chase the threads with a tap to clean that out.
@FM-kc9py5 ай бұрын
What size tap
@ericrose17445 ай бұрын
It’s been a minute since the install but I believe they are M8-1.25 which is a very common metric coarse thread. If you want to be sure take one of the bolts to the hardware store and you can measure the thread pitch with one of their tools and pick up a tap while you’re there. If you leave all the brackets assembled but finger tight it may help with alignment. My guess would be if there was nothing there before you got your truck the threads are just trashed with road grime and corrosion. Chasing with the tap will help as long as the nutserts were installed straight from the factory.
@FM-kc9py5 ай бұрын
Perfect thank you. Ya its pretty much road grime and corrosion so been try to clean it out

😆 I bought a set of boards and bought a tool to install but the tool doesn't have a 90 degree bend so they've been sitting in my barn for a year. I feel like an idiot seeing that I have the proper tools this whole time.

If you can remove the support brackets from the rail and just install the brackets wouldn't it be easier to do it that way instead of doing the "belly balance" method? I have an 07 Mega Cab and you can remove the rail from the brackets just sayin! Work smarter not harder....😉😉
@ericrose1744 Жыл бұрын
I suppose if you had a new kit that would be easy. In this case they were take offs from a newer truck. I didn’t want to separate all the pieces and align them all. With my luck it would have made this project twice as long for me.
@derElektriker909 ай бұрын
@alanosborne1947 That’s what I did but only to pressure wash all the parts. I plan to reassemble it all the way you described but was thinking I would have to do some welding until I came across this video.

My 2011 didn't have any of the rivnuts pre-installed, and my hardware kit from Dodge didn't include the rivnut tightener lol. Long story short, screwed up a bunch of the rivnuts and gave up on installing the step bars. Sold them off there after. If only this video existed last year 😂 but now that it does, I'll be reattempting it with a fresh set of step bars soon! Cheers
@ericrose1744 Жыл бұрын
Man sorry about that. I’ve had one of these every other year for work since 2014 and this is the first one that had the nuts preinstalled on the front. Hope this helps when you get a new set.
@SkylarMelo Жыл бұрын
Just picked an identical set to yours in the video. Now my new problem is no pre-drilled pinch weld holes 😂. That's easily solved I guess, still need to acquire the rivnut tool and missing rivnuts (hoping to use my screwed up one still, as the pinch weld bolts should help hold them.

Do you know the size of those rivet nuts? I bought M8 as suggested by the seller but they seem to be too small for the hole on the truck. Thank you!

They are M8-1.25 thread pitch. Overall height measure 20mm, the hex is a 13mm wrench size, head diameter is ~21.5mm.
