Default Install doc for Rubi Rails?

I found a SaharaStepInstall.pdf, but was looking for one for the rubi rails. Just wanting to verify that it is the same mounting holes/locations/hardware and whether there is a front or back, or if it doesn't matter which side they go on.

The temp is dropping back down into the teens, so I was hoping to find some accurate pics and spending 15 or 20 minutes swapping the rails rather than fumbling around taking the wrong bolts out of my sahara steps and installing the rubi rails backwards or something silly.

I believe it is the exact same bolt configuration. Three large bolts to the bottom of the tub and six or eight to the pinch seam.

They are a left and right. You have to take off the steps and install the rails in the same locations, using the same hardware for the steps. Just match up the mounting tabs from the steps to the rails and they will be right. I went the other way in a parking lot, rails to steps and it only took about 20 mins to do.

Thanks for the replies guys! I found the install.pdf also, so I'm good to go.

Not the best pics, but looks like 'left' and 'right' are indicated by the shorter distance from rail end to first bracket goes toward the front, longer distance from rail end to first bracket in the rear...
