You are going to have to drill a few holes where it mounts on the 4 door trucks, and weld a nut on the inside of the body for the carrier to bolt to. Lots of guys have done this mod.

I didn't weld any nuts, I used large washers and lock nuts on the bolts. Been on the truck for 2.5 years and haven't had any problems.
