the price was great, quality is good too, but wasn't a true "no modification" mount.

Did they ever call you back with an answer as to why it wasn't a direct bolt-on?

Yes, it came with ones that mount to the bumper or the frame, I haven't yet figured out how they install, probably another case of hole drilling....

Edit: Looked again, I don't see how they work period. There is one hole left on each side of the brush guard, I'm guessing that's where they go, but it doesn't line up with anything on the bumper or the frame.

No, no calls back or emails. Very lousy customer service too.

Sure thing.

http://www.truckgeardirect.com/ is the seller, I've looked over their site and can't find any install instructions. There are numerous install video's online, some even by the manufacturer, but nothing for a 2nd Gen Ram...

These are the brackets:





And I painted the covers to my lights, to match the black theme:
