A local guy was selling a pair of chrome Ram Off-road nerf bars for 95-04 4dr blazers for $70 so i hopped right on that and snatched them up asap.

Only question is, how do i install them. i know the rear end bolts on to the front leafspring bolt, but i have to drill holes for the front part. How would i attach it with bolts to the frame in the front?

 

from some of the pics of nerf bars i've seen, it appears the should have a metal plate on the end and that gets bolted to the frame not sure if there r predrilled holes or not

theres a pic of the ones i picked up, on the squared end you can see the two holes in the nerf bar for the bolts, but there are no holes in the frame. I would just drill holes in the frame, but its a box frame so i cant really get my hand in there to tighten the nuts [:@]

 

My nerf bars mounted to the stock body mounts and not to the frame. I'll take a picture later today to show you.

 

Yea they usually always attach to the body mounts...the hockey puck bolts 5 on each side! should be two right in the middle of the truck that line up perfectly to your narf bars.

 

Mine mount on the body mounts. They came with longer bolts, some spacers and a bracket...

ok, i got some pics of the mounting so you guys can get a better idea of what im talking about

heres what ive deciced, im going to drill out 7/16" holes in the frame, and then use 1/2" sheet metal bolts to hold it in and just screw the bolts in and not worry about nuts.

 

[hr]
My bars mounted up front with two 1/2 inch self tapping bolts, leaf spring bolt out back. I drilled 3/8th pilot holes for the front and bolted them up, easy job

 

ive looked everywhere for 1/2" self tapping bolts... cant find them anywhere, home depot, napa, lowes etc. im going to go check tractor supply co, but if they dont have them.. well then im goin over to my friends workshop and im weldin the b*tches on
