    I bought a set of running boards today, and when I took off my factory running boards, the holes are completely different. The predator boards that I got have all 3 sets of holes right next to each other, and the bracket furthest to the back is much further back on my factory running boards. On my truck, the front 2 holes are spaced apart much further than the holes for the middle and back bracket. From everything I've seen, there is only one setup for running boards for my model truck, so has anyone else run in to this issue?

    This is what mine looks like.

    And this is what it should look like to mount up properly.

    No, I tried them on both sides. The mounting brackets are different from the factory holes no matter which way you switch them. I want to order some go rhino dominator running boards but am afraid I'll run into the same problem. My truck is a long bed double cab, does anyone know if the fitment is different?
