    tried searching but didn't come up with much.

    Does anyone have instructions on how to mount manik nerf bars? I think the company went bankrupt and no longer has any online resources.


    It looks like an easy install except the front anchor point forces a bend on the welded attachment to the frame that extends outward (see example in followup picture).

    My thoughts are:
    1) I have the wrong bracket
    3) it should be mounting somewhere else
    3) I'm overreacting and it's fine.

    Updated picture showing the gap between the plate and the frame. If I tighten the bolt, it will slightly bend the frame.

    Anyone have a manual or instructions? Even a picture of the underside would be a big help so I can compare the brackets. I tried installing but the alignment between the body of the truck and the bar is way off for each side.
