Wait, what?? What have running boards got to do with it?
I've got running boards, they're no substitute for the brackets.

I apparently left out a few words in my original post. I meant to say that I didn't need to install the FRONT saddle brackets. My running boards allow the front of the lower hoop to be pulled up very snuggly against the running board structure. The rear saddle brackets were indeed installed and really "anchors" everything in the proper alignment. I think the main concern is to get the proper pre-tensioning adjustment of the brackets (otherwise, you could pull/damage the wings of the camper where the lift attaches). There are no other tie-downs in use. In my case, I found that I really didn't need the front brackets installed. The fitment in the truck bed is tight as well as secure.
My truck is a 2005 Dodge 2500 quadcab, longbed, turbo-diesel, 6spd manual, SRW.
