    So this sucks. I came across some steps but without the hardware.

    Anyone know the size, thread pitch , and number of bolts needed to put these things on?

    My pregnant wife who is having trouble getting into the truck thanks you :D

    Thanks man, I ended up with the predator steps which are slightly different. Your post gave me hope that maybe I could find the install instructions for those. Boom!

    Of course it doesn't mention the thread pitch, but I have that from the other PDF you posted (1.25).

    So looks like to do it right, I need:

    QTY 12 - M8 x 1.25 x 35mm SEMS bolts
    QTY 2 - M8 x 19mm x 5mm washers

    Thanks for the guidance!

    Hopefully this is useful to anyone else searching the forums. A search turned up empty for me.
