So I purchased some side steps for my 2011 Quadcab. Overall I give the installation a 8/10, quality a 7/10, price-to-value a 7/10. FORGIVE THE MESSY DIRT AND GARAGE:i_rolleyes:

What you receive:


What you need to install:


What is inside boxes:


Directions
(They say to use 4 brackets per side, but I only found 3 areas and 3 seems enough):


Remove tape in 3 spots per side:



Insert welded bracket:


Install Brackets:




Install (2) bolts per bracket:


Tighten all bolts and then give them a good stepping on and then re-tighten.

Nice. Those look good. I'm liking that style the more I see them as opposed to the ones I have that curve back under the cab.
