Default Running boards

Just received new set of running boards and checked the fit.mnow I have a few questions. 1) are all 28-29 rb brackets the same? Seems that one on each side is angled downward from the frame mor so than the other. 2) can I expect to do some fairly major tweaking to get the mounting bolts to line up with the underside rb's to frame brackets? Seems I may need to do some bending and rough fit everything before tightening everything into place. 3) both rb' should be interchangeable from side to side, correct? Ordered these from mikes assumed running boards were pretty straightforward. Vern

No,..the brackets are different. The fronts are the same(I believe) and the rears
are a LH and RH only. The rears are shorter in length.

You's a long piece of pipe, slip it over the bracket, too adjust..

Running boards are not interchangeable side to side.
