Westin Protraxx 4" Ovals on 2013 1500 Crew

[Padre675]

Anybody else installed these? Had a question about the drivers side front bracket. Mine came with a different bracket from the rest of the truck. It only had two mounting holes, and required two riv-certs to mount plus two small bolts through the pinch weld.
All the rest of the brackets mounted with three bolts and are very sturdy, won't budge. But the ds front has a little play in it, wondering if it's this bracket.
Thoughts?

I think the best thing to do is call/email the dealer

That's the plan tomorrow. Was just wondering if anyone else had a similar situation. Thanks.

Did you got the installation instruction?
Items listed should be the same what you got.

That's not exactly the same instructions. The front page is, but the rest differ. The actual ds front bracket I got kinda looks like that, except if the top were chopped off and only two holes. Thinking I got the wrong bracket, except everything lines up perfectly, even the bolts for the pinch weld.
I'll call tomorrow and get their answer.

So I double checked the installation instructions I got vs. the ones 9th posted, and noticed a little difference. Both are listed as being for 09-15 Ram 1500 Crew/Quad and most everything is the same. The difference is the DS Front Bracket. The one I got is short where it attaches to the rocker panel, and only attaches uses two riv-certs and bolts as well as through the pinch weld. The other set is taller, uses the Bolt and Nut Plate and one riv-cert (so 3 bolts vs. 2) and doesn't touch the pinch weld.

I'm waiting to hear back from Westin right now.

mine came with an extra bracket for that location for people with air suspension. i didnt use it. perhaps you are missing a bracket.

Not sure, still waiting on Westin. Seems like I had everything though, just looks like two different install equipment sets. Also just noticed my set is dated 28 Sep 15, the one 9th posted is dated 19 Mar 15. So it would seem I have the up to date set.

I have a set of the stainless ones on my 2015.

I have the exact ones in my Ram. You have to switch the driver and passenger side bracket of the front or rear, I can't remember. I figured this out by looking at Amazon reviews, seems everyone has the same issue. Hope this helps.

It's the rear that were mislabeled for a lot of folks. I actually didn't have that problem, they were label correctly. My problem is just the little bit of movement that the ds front has when you step on it. So far it seems that the short bracket I got is the new standard. Not sure the reason for the movement though. Everything is on and torqued to specs. The rest of the brackets are solid.
