Retrac - Luverne nerf installation - Looking good. Got a side shot a little further away?

Looking good. Got a side shot a little further away?

Yea I'll get that for you tomorrow, hitting the sack.

Might just be me, but this sounds kinda tough. How hard is it to do?

Its really easy, an extra set of hands is helpful though for when trying to mount them. Other then that its just 3 body bolts on each side.

This is a very helpful how-to. I just installed black powdercoated Westin Platinum steps today. The only thing I did differently was after initally taking off the body mount bolts with the 1/2 drive 13/16th socket with the 2 foot breaker bar, I found that after putting the mounting brackets on, that it was incredibly hard to get to the bolts to tighten them up. So I used a 3/8 drive socket wrench with a long extension which allowed me to get the 13/16th socket onto the bolt and tighten them up. It's definetely hard on your back if you don't have a lift or jack and you're a larger framed guy like myself.

Great How-to, pics and all! I just installed a pair on my Sierra they look great, one problem though... I have to keep tightening my body bolts every couple days, they come loose and you get a horrible sound inside the cab like it's going to rip off the frame...
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Same issue here Rob

I just went out to tighten them again, they stayed tight since I last did it but I still get that heavy creaking sound...

Hmmmmm. Creaking noise does not sound good! I've been leaning towards the oem bars so I just might continue in that direction

I actually figured it out since my post... Horrible sound but simple fix - you have to be the sure the brackets for the bars are pushed all the way back on your body mounts, haven't heard a creak since!
