If I can get them on by myself, YOU can get them on by yourself.The instruction that come with it are Shittybuilt.Here's what you need:5\8th Deep socket and medium or larger ratchet. A power wrench or pwr driver would be beneficial, just don't cross thread.These things will help:Friendsmall to medium auto jacks standsfloor jack (i used my HF 3 ton and could move, twist handle etc with one hand)patiencecommon senseCaptain MorganThe Instructions say small end, they mean the ends that STICK OUT where the rails bolt on, one end is longer and goes at the back.There are two nuts at each end of the vehicle mentioned in the instructions, remove all of them and stage beneath closest tire tread.Place the rails on the correct side of vehicle with short at front, longer at rear.Prop the rails on to the jack stand as close to the height required to move in to place, and as close to the vehicle as possible.Place the 5\8th socket on to a 4&#34; or more extension and place 1 nut on to the socket.Move the back end in to place first, and look up in to the rail hole to see if aligned with bolts.LIFT AND HOLD whilst putting the socket up in to the hole on the rail and hand thread until nut is secured. Do this for the second nut.Move to the front of the vehicle and repeat by inspecting the hole\bolt alignment and placing nut in to socket - LIFT AND HOLD, hand thread. If there is an alignment issue, use the floor jack to push the rail UP in to place, do not block the mount holes you need with the floor jack.Tighten the nuts at the front all the way since you will be at the front anyway, then tighten the back all the way. I found no torque specifications but common sense and &#34;pretty danged tight&#34; should be fine. If still in doubt consult Captain Morgan.I'll say this, the packaging for these rails is great, and even though the box mine came in looked gouged it wasn't a problem, there is more cardboard protection underneath.The date on mine was 9-2013 and I had no issues, just used the floor jack to push up where tight and was pretty easy.The powder coating is decent, the welds look good and the only stickers that were on there was a QA and a tiny gold &#34;MADE IN CHINA&#34;. There are additional SMITTYBUILT yellow stickers in a bag you can use or not.The step areas are decent size, smoother than the rest of the powder coat. I bought some rubber tread at HF to put on there.Although the product quality seems good, I knocked off a point for the sheer LAMENESS of those instructions and terrible pics.
