The left and right side nerf bars are the same. The long side needs to be positioned towards the front of your vehicle.

Step two: Position the nerf bar up to frame. Maintain a 1/2" minimum between the bottom of the vehicle and the top of the nerf bar. Locate the nerf bar front to back until it is parallel with the frame and the body of the vehicle. With nerf bar in place (second person holding) mark the frame through nerf bar mounting holes located in the bar bracket. After marks have been made repeat step one on the other side and set bars to the side.
