I recently installed them on my '23 Lariat Eco Fx4. Definitely some interesting engineering went into their design, but overall think they came out great. Wanted a matte black finish rather than glossy. Overall install probably took just under 2 hours, no drilling, minor cutting of felt. The sides and hardware came in different color bags in order to pair them up properly. Got them off of Amazon for a decent price. Photos below as well.

Agreed, the instructions could be better. In hindsight, I wish I would've laid both sides out (brackets & hardware) at the same time to save myself some time and aggravative.

(*aggravation) I hear ya, I'm getting up in years and bad knees, so figured I'd plan ahead with raising it up soon.

So

Someone said to build both sides then it's easier to figure out what holes to use and the take bracket off and put on truck also do you have any pictures of the mounting brackets installed and how much cutting and is it front and back that need trimming

 

[Grey Ghost 22]

2 very minor cuts on each side with a razor knife. One about 1" the other about 2" (middle & back) Won't be an issue for you at all. Didn't take any other pictures other than those posted. Besides in helping with the lift, I feel like they'll help prevent a few door dings for vehicles parked next to ya. I don't recall finding any videos on YouTube prior to install. Just take your time, passenger side first, then same thing on driver side. You'll be fine.

Here are a few pictures of my maverick XL AWD ecobost still have the maxmate nurf bars to go on and EGR rugged fender flares and a nudge bar and LED fog lights. Tell me what you think. You should look at the nudge bar really makes the front of the truck it's made by boardfeet

Great thanks for the info the cuts are so the brackets set flush correct
