I could not get a nut from any hardware store that worked right and I didnt want to cross thread them.
I think I got the same deal you did( boards and brackets w/o hardware), would anyone be able to list what hardware I need? I stopped by the local ford dealer but they just said the hardware could only be bought in a larger bundle with the brackets.

m8-1.25 went right on with no issues on my 2018. Matched that up with a nice washer and it works great. If you feel some resistance it is only due to the paint on the threads. If you are real worried about it just hit the bolts with a wire brush.
