spring maybe. i gotta see if the knockout have been removed on the truck for the cam bolts, and if so see if I need a cam bolt kit, biggger or whatever, or knock them out and use what I got if they haven't been removed.

they work good, seem to be a bit close to the rockers but it gives it a nice sleek look being close and not hanging way out.

I sold the ones that came on my GMC last night, yours looks like they fit better than mine did, they hung rather low. Also mounted on the cab mounts, I'm wondering if the PO had en mounted wrong for them to be so low. But I like how yours turned out, if mine was like that I would still have them.

thanks c4, I think they fit good, was surprised how easy my cab bolts cab out. Good thing I took them out too, the DS were thin, like maybe 1/4 thick on one spot due to rust. They are around 1/2 thick normal. I used impact on them but turned out to be 15 mm and not 18 like I bought, couldn't find a 15mm 1/2 anywhere, besides 12 point, so I used it, PS came out fine, DS seemed to be rounded or socket was, so I used a 3/8 15mm and my ratchet just used my jack handle on it, they came right out. I then proceeded to spray the guts out of the cab holes with some lube, did the bolts the same way, bars came with new bolts luckily. They fit good no issues, better then my front bull bar it had to be worked on to fit right.

I don't think I saw your gmc c4 got pics of it?



PS

I should have some pics of a nice surprise I been holding back tomorrow hopefully if all goes well. If not then I'll let ya know what it was going to be. It aint tires, done got them, just aint on yet. You guys will like it though, I think everybody will. I know most hate my truck or hate chrome but this aint chrome and I'm sure tons will like it LOL.
