Yeah you have to use a step bit , the holes from the front door back are easy , the front fender ones are a bitch , there is not enough room behind it to drill and the bolts in the kit are to long .

So what I did was pull the fender a little from the jeep , cut down the bolts shorter so they can fit , also their nutsert tool sucked so I made my own

The main thing is make sure you have a external lock washer pressing up against the nutsert because that will keep it from spinning on you and buy extras
