    For anyone who has bought the oem predator steps, did the two 5mm thick washer come included? I just bought the steps at the dealer, but the washers are nowhere to be found. Are they really needed?


    Thanks!

    So you just got the bolts? Washers and lock washers are a good idea to have on. You should go to a local hardware store and get some.

    Yep, only 12 bolts with built in flat washers. The instruction online seem to indicate that 2 5mm thick flat washers are also needed for the front outer bolts. Couldn't find those the box.

    If the bolts have built it flat washers you should be good, but if you are local to the dealer, I’d go in and and request the washers or a partial refund :rant:

    For anyone searching for this in the future, it turns out that on the newer updated part number of these steps, the flat washers are no longer used. The new instructions printed out by my dealer also confirmed this.
