How the heck do I instal them!? Do I have to take the parking break assembly apart?

SOS. Cause mine don't seem to fit on either side. They don't go high enough on the frame to bolt up

I installed schwartty's rock rails, and I don't think they're too much different. I had 2 people hold either end and I got underneath. I just moved the parking brake line to the outside of the rail mounting tab, and that was it. They sit at kind of an angle to get really close. they're kind of a pain, but if you get underneath while they're being held in place you can see what's going on a lot easier.

mine must be defective because they don't fit, on either side hahah

the package has the right like numbers and stuff, they just don't go up high enough to even reach the holes on the frame, and they're not even the right angle haha, i tried them both ways both side and no go. So someone messed up something.

Do you have them upside down? Not trying to be smartass with that. The OEM's are kind of a pain on the drivers side as well.

oem were simple, 15 minutes and they were on. I would have guessed that the n fab would have used the same oem mounting holes. Im guessing you got wrong ones. Are they marked left and right?

Can you post a picture of them "fitted" up for a reference? Also, I used jack stands as my extra set of hands.

 

[IISPEEDYII]

Yeah I did, and well I have them packed up and already ready to go back, Im pretty sure whoever welded the actual mounting plates put them on wrong, theres no way they match up. We tried everything, and every single way. Im just gonna order some rocky roads I think

As someone who makes heavy metal things and ships them, I can tell you that shipping is just plain expensive. No way around it. You might be paying $500 for the product, but there's not as much profit in that as you might think. When you start adding up material cost, shop supplies, (grinding wheels, welding wire and gas, plasma consumables and/or oxy/acetylene, electricity, etc) sandblasting and paint/powder coat, and then cover the time for labor, there really isn't much left. And the smaller the company or smaller the market for a particular product, the smaller the profit margin. Makes it hard to offer free or reduced shipping, because you are just taking it out of what little profit there is. Just an unfortunate reality of today's high shipping costs.
