Just wondering if there is drilling for the install of these bars? I'm not to crazy about drilling into a uni-body frame but I guess if I want these I would have too. Thanks.
Well Bud to briefly answer your question ...NO ..But then again you may just want to mod the mount brackets .. I extended mine almost 2 inches.. I have the pics here somewhere ..I think under side rail / nerf bars .. Any questions just rattle my cage...

Yea, I've read somewhere here that the steps are to close to the vehicle to actually do any good. if you can find that post & the pic's of your extension that would be great. Thanks

Go to the gallery ...I just had them up..There are about 5 pics there showing various stages.. In my opinion moving them away from the rocker panal is a must if you want to use them as a step.. Or if your shoe size is a 4 or under your ok.. :chuckle:

There were no extensions.. I first installed the Bars as were Mfg. After a few weeks of use I realized that the bars, half hidden under the rocker panels, didn't accommodate a size 10.5 EEE shoe .I bought 4' of flat stock cold steel ...Cut the 4 pcs. I needed ...Took a saws all and cut the bars from the Nitro..I then vice griped the pcs. into place and welded them ..Spotted the bars where I wanted them and welded them as well..Preped and painted the modified brackets and called it a job.. If you found the pics after the re-install you'll notice that I took care to keep the bars inside the outside wheel lines..
