Just on note with this steps, I installed my Mopar tubular steps on my 09 with no issues. I use a ratchet and manually installed the rivnut. When we were installing the same steps on my in-laws 2010 Ram, I wasnt able to do the same with them, the rivnuts would spin and not colapse. He end up having to use a impact ratchet to colapse them (the dealer tech sugested to use the impact ratchet and it work)
Just wanted to mention this in case you are planing on DIY.
Also, I know a couple people (and a few more on here) that had a rattle after installation. I ended up taking mine back to the dealer and they installed rubber bushings at the mount points. Apparently its a known problem with the 4th gen Mopar step tubes.
Installed mine myself, no rattle, but using the rivnut tool, you have to lubricate it before each rivnut, no problem collapsing them at all as long as the tool was lubricated each time.

That is a very important step that I don't think is included in the instructions
