Finally got around to uploading some pics of the running boards installation: one is the done pic.
Next is the brackets before the board put on, yes the one on the left is tilted and lower, that's cause where the other end of the bracket met the frame, the frame starts to turn downward, where I needed to mount it.
and the last one is underneath, where the bracket is bolted on to the frame where I drilled. You can see the frame bends downward on the left.
I did a lot of 3-D dry fitting, marking and measuring, then rechecking again before drilling, especially the driver's side cause the brake-line runs along that side of the frame. Plus, you have to go where that frame cross-member isn't as it comes across the frame, see the left side of the last picture.
So, you may not get the brackets exactly where the instructions say to do, but I spaced them out best I could, where I could get them to fit.
enjoy!
