Can you provide the torque specs for both the bracket-to-truck bolts and for the bracket to running board bolts for this installation? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
Per the installation instructions I've linked for you, the M8 bolts that attach the brackets to the truck are torqued to 15-19 foot lbs and the M6 bolts that attach the step to the bracket are torqued to 5-7 foot lbs.
Be aware that the nature of the hardware can change over time, so it's best to refer to step # 9 of the instructions for the kit you received to ensure the torque values are current for the provided hardware.
