Does anyone know of a set of tube steps that are easy to install but dont use the body mounts as a mounting point??

I had purchased a set of westins for my 02 ram quad cab, but my body mount bolts dont want to come out, i used a air impact, soaked them in seafoam, and put a breaker bar on them and when i felt it starting to twist and not loosen i gave up so i didnt snap it. And i dont want to heat them becuse i dont want to burn the rubber cusion up either.

any help would be appreciated.

 

Maybe Back Country is your choice:

Before you return the westins, try to unscrew the body mount by loosening the other way as in turning it right. I got an 06 and i went through the same thing and almost gave up until i turned the bolt the other way. Normally it's right tight left loose but for the body bolts its left tight right loose. Good luck.

 

ahh good call, one of my techs is going to give it a whirl for me tomorrow, so hopefully it works out!

 

the factory mopar tube steps dont bolt to the body mounts

 

actaulyl im all set now, oine of my techs at work got the brackets on for me so i am good to go!!! just need the rain to stop so i can put the tubes on!!
