Oklahoma Ram Club - View Single Post - Aires Nerf Bars-Anyone done an install?

Shortline · 05-03-2013, 04:10 PM

Ordered some Aires Nerf Bars, install was a little more involved/challenging that I expected, had to take it in to a shop to have them break the body bolts free, and things just don't seem to line up well at all. I have the right bars on, but the brace isn't even close to being able to be put on, the bolts just don't line up. The rear, I was supposed to remove the Factory Bolt and isolator, but the new bolts seemed WAY too long, so I tried it with the isolator ring, and it seems to work. But....wondering what I'm doing wrong here, the kit matches my truck, and it all looks right on the Aires website, but it just doesn't seem to be coming together. I made an appt to have them installed right by AutoFX on Tuesday, but I expect I'll try and put the left one on too, and see how it goes. Just wondering if anyone here had the same issues, or has any ideas.
