Yes all mounting hardware and instructions, and it came in a big box as I remember. You know, I kind of remember having to search the internet a bit to find out if it was the correct fit. You can grab the name of the maker and part number and do a google search, or try to contact the seller. I pulled the link in my post off my order history form Amazon. I don't know if they would resolve my order history link to a different part if the item is no longer stocked... but you never know... I do know they don't dig returns if they can avoid it! But what good is the part listing if they don't tell what if fits, I find that annoying. But it's worth the homework for free shipping to doorstep.

OK here I found it at their site. Has the fitment details for year below description. Matches the amazon number. I felt bad I might have been selling bad dope!

jeffahart, I appreciate all the info you provided. I think these nerf bars look great and should solve my entry/exit issues. I should have my truck completed soon, finishing up a lot of small issues. Thanks again.

Just my humble opinion, but I would go for the step rather than nerf bars. I've seen so many rusted out rotten nerf bars its pitiful. I know some are made better than others but I would never put a set on my vehicle.

Not sure about the rusted on stainless. But let me tell about my feelings on the hoop stirrups. Besides what I said about rocker. Your female passenger may have trouble with the hoop stirrups. I've had them before and the wife was forever trying to figure what foot to put in the damned thing. I had to train her. Using a long step is better for her. I still see her stepping on it with BOTH feet before she gets in the truck, .... go figure! I also added all the grab handles for her benefit or any other passenger, since the truck is lifted. So, the driving factor was mostly is for convenience, not much to do with off roading or looks, but I like how they look too.

I didn't respond because you don't like the nerf, I just wanted to chime in on why I didn't go with a stirrup type hoop.

Something for people to consider! Keep on truckin' !

"Nerf bar?" Why would anyone want to nerf their truck? Wouldn't you want to buff your truck?

Can you tell I have been watching "World of Tanks" replies by Jingles on youtube this morning?
