Step 5 Place the running board on the brackets and align the M8 bolts with the slots in the brackets on the vehicle. Secure the running board to the brackets using six M8 bolts, lock washers, flat washers and hex nuts. Adjust and level the running board, centering it between the front and rear wheels. With the running boards in position, it is recommended to tighten all brackets to the vehicle first, followed by the running board connections.
