Tyger Auto Star Armor Compatible with 2009-2018 Dodge Ram 1500; 2019-2024 Classic | Quad Cab | TG-AM2D20038 | Side Step Rails Nerf Bars Running Boards

**1 YEAR UPDATE** It's now been a little over 1 year since I installed these step bars. They are still just as solid as the day I installed them. The coating is still solid as well. I have done some light offloading and a fair amount of gravel roads/ driveways and doesnt appeared to have done any damage to the coating. I will say driving down those gravel roads and even on highways, I LOVE hearing the rocks go "TING" off of the step bars!! Just means that's one less rock hitting the side of my truck! Lol2016 ram 1500 v6 3.6l quad cab. Ordered on Thursday and delivered 1 week later on Thursday. Package came from California and I live in maryland. Fit good, uses mounting holes inside of body AND on pinch weld. Front mounting holes of my truck were already threaded so only had to use bolts and washers. Middle and rear holes were not threaded so had to use supplied bolt brackets to finagle in but wasn't hard and directions were pretty easy to follow with help of pictures. Drivers side took about 45-60 mins cause it was cold and got dark, did passenger side the following day and took about 30 mins. Oh you have to swap rear support bracket for either side which wasn't hard to figure out plus other people have said the same thing. Mounted pretty solid and coating seams to be pretty good as well considering how many times they fell and banged the asphalt as I was trying to install them myself.

Got these for my 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 Classic Quad Cab Warlock. So glad I got these. They look awesome on my Warlock and are very sturdy. Install took me about 2 hrs 45 mins. and I installed them by myself without any issues. First one took the most time just because I was making sure I was using the right hardware. I recommend you lay out the hardware for each side so there’s no confusion on what to use for each step. Directions were good in my opinion. I didn’t have to drill the pinch weld on my truck as the holes were already there. The first bracket took some time because after I put it through the hole it kept spinning down while trying to align it up but this was simply solved by using a nut from the supplied hardware to keep it from spinning and once it was through the hole and the keeper was installed I simply took the bolt off and removed the nut. Very easy install for one person in my opinion. Didn’t have to use a Jack or anything else to hold up the other end. I just raised the front up and started one bolt then lifted it and aligned it onto the center and rear studs and put the washers and nuts on the stud. Left the hardware loose as recommended until I got the other three supports installed. Then just systematically tightened all the hardware making sure it was level. Looks great and recommend these to everyone.

Like other reviews, these are nice quality and super sturdy. Packaging was super nice in a big sturdy box with foam packing. On the 2020 Dodge 1500 Warlock Quad Cab, the front mounting bolts go straight into the factory nutserts, so super easy to get them started.The middle and rear mounting bolts and nuts are a little trickier, what I found was that you can "feed" the bracket through the factory holes by screwing one of the bolts into the bracket and use that to "feed" the bracket into the large hole about the mounting bolt points. That allows you to thread the stud on the bracket into place and spin on the plastic retainers, then offer up the running boards to the front first and thread a bolt through into the factory nutserts. Then swing the running board up and gently over the supplied middle and rear studs that are retained by the plastic retainer. If you lose the bracket in the factory channel, it's useful to have a magnetic stick to fish them back through the holes. All in all, each side took about 30 mins to complete.

I've updated this now that I've completed both rails.This is the first time we've done a rail install and it took us about an hour and a half for the first side. The instructions seemed confusing at first. We watched a YouTube video to get a better idea. Tyger should do some videos. The second side took about the same about of time for a total of 3 hours.Overall, I thought the install was pretty easy. Tightening the bolts and screws was what took up the majority of time.My only gripe is that all the parts and bolts and washers came in one big bag. Individual bags with some kind of labeling would have gone a long way.Originally, I took off a star for this, but the rails look so good I put it back.Doing the passenger side, the middle hole where you have to fish the bracket through was tight. I'm a girl with smaller hands and was able to fit my fingers through with the bracket to jiggle it through... so, you may need to get creative trying to get this bracket on. I read a review where the other guy used fishing line.We did some wheel blocks on the wheels and did not have to lift the vehicle. I have 2017 1500 Ram. The passenger side seemed a bit tighter than thde driver side. I did the original placing of the brackets and then the bolts while my dad held up the bar then did the final tightening.I also purchased the matching front guard. So, I'm excited to see the finished look.

Installed by myself in a couple hours. Second side was much easier after learning how on the first side. Very solid, and look good. Many side steps hang low below the body line, but these hug up tight.

Sturdy, excellent finish and craftmanship. They fit perfectly on my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Quad Cab Warlock Edition. It's a two men job as they weight 40lbs per side, so if you're looking for something light duty this is not it, but if you're looking for heavy duty steps at a reasonable price that are built to last forever and look 'off-road' get those!

Awesome bars look great and are nice and heavy seem strong And rather easy to install

Good, strong and sturdy. Seem well made. We'll see how they stand there first winter. Bed liner like coating seems thickly applied which is good. I am happy with them. A good value.

Worked great on my Ram 1500. Looks amazing and gives my truck a beefy look. The running boards have held up against rocks while off road and the coating has stopped rust in Canadian winter.

Easy enough to install and seems pretty sturdy and solid.Was a very quick delivery considering it was coming from the USA to Canada. Very well packaged and no issues.
