    I'd be happy to supply you

    You'd probably save half of what you spent on the OEM guards if you went with my set!

    If you follow the diagram #MAX hardware needed:
    - 6 green bags (6 bolts/side)
    - 8 bags of fender washers (2 washers/bolt x 6 bolts x 2 sides)
    - 4 bags of locking nuts (1 lock nut/bolt)

    Originally I wanted to go all galvanized but I couldn't track down a galvanized locking nut anywhere so the next best thing, all stainless hardware for longevity! ***Remember Do not over tighten Let the locking nut do its job!

    Edit: I just double checked under my truck. There is no symmetry each side is different there are different components lining the engine cavity that may prohibit access to secure a bolt in one location that may allow it on the other side. Personally I used a 9mm Christmas tree clip thru some holes because the stem is longer, you just have to feel this process out!

    Installed. Had to relocate the resi's to an area that I previously was not able to install due to the bumper frame reinforcements, it worked out great! Great product and fast shipping. Thank you OP!

    Might want to use non stainless nuts ( plated steel or zinc coated ). Stainless on stainless may gall and make removing later tough. Usually just cranking on them till the bolt breaks.
    But with not a lot of torque on them they may be fine

    Agreed not putting much torque on these just enough to get snug with the lock nut.

    My thoughts of goin with stainless over zinc plated etc is the elements it will get exposed to overtime
