Need a hand (rock rails)
So I went to put on these rock rails I bought real cheap, but neither the guy I bought them from or myself know who the manufacture is. They look similar to smitty, but mount only to the 2nd and 4th body mounts. The rear is the main issue. Without drilling another hole to access the center stud, there is no way I can torque it to 80lbs, so, it squeaks. I've tried an elbow on my socket wrench, no good. Any thoughts?

I think they are smitty too. Is your's like this on the rear mount? I'm just gonna drill it out. Crazy design though. They were less than $100 so I cant complain too much
