Default PS rocker knockers

Hey guys just got my poison spyder rocker knockers from paint. I've been trying to decide for a while to install them myself or have 4wp put them on. I'm pretty mechanical just wondering if it's a pain to put them on and it's worth 250$ to have them out on. Any tips and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!!!

To start, are they the frame mount or body mount version? I haven't installed either but looking hard at them.

Save your money and do it yourself. They are not bad. Just take your time. Have some clamps on hand.. I have the Crawler Conceptz but they install the exact same. I used the half assed bolt tool they send with a wrench and a Makita impact driver. Whe you install consider anti sieze on the hardware. There is potential to swear but you should be fine.

I had senior moment. If they are the frame mounted my approach will not work for you. If they are the ones with nutserts my approach will jive with your mission.

I got them on myself on my 2 door, I had someone to help me hold them in place while I marked up the holes. With a two door they use 3 stock bolt holes so it was very simple. Don't know if you have the two or four but that's my input, the hardest part of the install was having them held up to mark the holes and that's simple with two people. They have a video on YouTube that puts every detail into step, I watched it a few times and it definitely helped

$250???? WOW.... Please don't pay that.

If they are bolt on. They were one of my first mods I did when I had my '14 and knew nothing about jeeps. I was not mechanical and it was very very easy install.

They are bolt on frame mounted going on a 2 door. I've read the instructions probably a hundred times. But it says you have to drill and tap the frame. I believe the rear go between the body mount and frame

Did you have to trip the sheet metal "pinch point"? That's what makes me a little nervous as well.

I installed the frame mount version on my 4 door by myself. Just have to tap a couple holes, not too bad. Definitely would not pay $250 for install.

A buddy done it himself couple of months ago. Should be easy with right tools.
