Yeah that doesn't make sense. Looks like I'm just going to be making new holes. These things do look sexy though thats for sure.

Calm down bout the slicks fellas. I bought those for the wheels since they guy wouldn't sell them separate. Gonna throw them on and see how well it hooks but then I will be getting all of them powdercoated and I'm considering a bedmointed spare now that I have a real spare wheel
I still think you can get some air between sticky slicks on 4.56s...or break your rear end.

sorry i had to jet so fast today man, i would've love to grab some pics, but forgot my camera, and I knew you had to get to 4wheel to get the steps on (which look good BTW!)

Ha I want to but I'm also worried about hooking too well. And no problems on the no pics. No pics are like the same as dirty pics there will be a next time

So my nfabs don't come anywhere near close to fitting. They hit the tires before full lock. They didn't match factory holes or anything. I'm pissed that a 300$ investment doesn't work. Idk if they sent me the wrong ones or what but this is ridiculous.

I measured them and looked up the measurments on nfab and they are the same. I'm not sure what the deal is, but when i looked at the picture on nfab it looks like they curl in way earlier than how mine are. I'm just gonna have to call 4 wheel.

Nope. I tried it on both sides lol and neither will work. I've come to the conclusion that the offset along with oversize tire is the problem. What I don't get though, is the fact that plenty of people have these things on lifted trucks and why don't they have problems? I mean the picture that nfab has on their website is a lifted expedition.

moral of story.. nfabs suck?

Mine are pretty sweet. They line up, have the nfab logos, and my uncle hasnt had the chance to back into them yet .

Idk wtf you guys are getting the raw end of the deal.. I mean jake got fakes??

Lightning: not insulting your intelligence at all, but the more rounded part points forewards. I had them backwards at first and was like.. wtf?

Nah your just still butthurt about how long yours took to come in hahah

Other than being stamped they're real. Talked with both 4wp and nfab today bout them (Brandon the owner). 4wp was ready to order a new set since I wasn't satisfied but had a talk with Brandon and he's sending me some stuff. They do stamped and non stamped versions now for certain applications such as show trucks etc and he's sending the decals and other stuff they add to the steps they put on the show versions. If those aren't good enough I will have new steps ordered.
