Helpful thank you. Agreed the instructions leave a lot to be desired and I wish the level of detail and thought was aligned with the quality of work I see from their shop.

I agree the work is nice. The brackets seem to be either laser or water jet cut. They are nice and I haven’t had fitment issue on the truck. I’m hoping I have the right brackets but FedEx is running late so I may not know until tomorrow which motors I have. Any chance you can grab a picture of where you had to trim the rocker box?

I dont have a pic of the clearance I ground into the rocker box but you can see the interference here:



the outer edge of the top of the step comes in contact with that lip. you can see the bolt head/washer to the right of that lip. I ground probably a 1/4"+ semi-circle to clearance that once spot on both sides. It still hits a little bit but i'm fine with it.

When you test fit the steps and cycle them manually you'll be able to tell where to trim.

Thank you.

Quick shot of the motors I received. I haven’t checked for fitment yet.

Not the motors - you need to check the motor housings. They will already be attached to the rear AMP arms.

Appear to be plastic. I emailed Nick and he said I have the new version of the brackets so should be no issue.

Nice - glad I could be your guinea pig
Good luck with the install!
