Do these bolt to factory points or do I need to drill my truck?

These mount directly at factory mounting points — no drilling required. You'll use the existing attachment locations on your frame.

What's the powder coat like? Will it chip or scratch easily?

Powder coat is durable against UV and road salt, but any step bar can get scuffed from boots and road debris. Touch-up with black spray paint keeps them looking fresh between cleanings.

Do I need special tools or a lift to install these?

Basic hand tools — wrench or socket set — and a jack to get under the truck. No special equipment needed. Plan 30–45 minutes per side if you're working solo.
