I installed these over the weekend and just pulled the stickers off today. Used a plastic putty knife to slide behind and push down without scratching the finish, then used a little goof-off to get the remaining glue off. Looks much better.

Let me guess, the driver side front hole does not line up? If that's the problem you will need to get a dremmel and a couple of cutting wheels and make the hole bigger so the bolt goes in. When I got mine earlier this year I had the same problem, I later found out that this problem has existed from day one and Smittybilt still has not fixed the issue. Based on this poor workmanship and the lack of concern for quality has made me stay clear from any more products from Smittybilt. That beiing said, once I got them installed I love them. I've hit some big rocks and trees and they held up very well. I also like the big step.
Glad to hear they're actually working as sliders too - I've read some posts where folks said they flexed too much/too easily and actually damaged the rocker panels. I suppose if you don't bang too much/too hard, they should offer decent protection - right???

I put them on mine and love them. Went on ok. Like everyone else said, have to egg the holes out a little, but not bad. They have taken some pretty good hits, and did just fine.
On a side note, I have a brand new set of sleeved and gusseted Rubicon axles to go in this weekend, 35's, rear bumper and tire carrier, engine skid, and some other goodies!
