2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Bar Side Steps

When they arrived and I checked everything over it was apparent how well designed they are, the mounting brackets are well made and strong, they also have two auxiliary brackets holding them from sideway movement. When I went over the installation process to install them I was very skeptical of a single bolt plate in the front and rear rocker panel being sufficient to support them, I'm no light weight at 245lb. It's not that they aren't designed strong enough but whether the rocker panel itself is strong enough to use the single bolt plate in front and rear to hold them up. I was going to return them and started checking other Steps, some had three brackets instead of two some had a three bolt attachment {one centered in rocker panel and a smaller one on each side that goes through small horizontal hole on each side} instead of the one. The other brackets were not as strong and lighter weight, the bolts were lighter and the steps were also lighter weight and more subject to corrosion. "Update" I installed them, they are strong, easy install and look great. Worth the money.
