Do these mount to factory points on my truck?

Yes. These attach at the existing factory rocker panel locations—no drilling or frame modification needed. Your dealer can confirm the exact bolt spec if you're doing the work yourself.

Will the chrome scratch or fade if I use them as actual steps?

Chrome resists wear well under regular foot traffic, but the finish will show contact marks over time. If that bothers you, consider these primarily a visual and protection upgrade rather than daily climbing bars. The black accents help hide minor scuffs.

What hardware do I need to install these?

The brackets and fasteners for attachment to factory points are included. You'll want a torque wrench to spec the bolts correctly—check your truck's service manual for the rocker panel bolt torque value.
