Do I need to remove these panels to access my vehicle's jack points?

No. These rocker panels are designed to sit clear of factory jacking locations, so you can lift your vehicle without unbolting the panels. Always reference your vehicle's service manual to confirm jack point placement before jacking.

What preparation is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface thoroughly to help your paint adhere properly. These panels arrive raw FRP, so you can sand them down and apply your chosen primer and topcoat directly without additional surface work.

Will these panels work if my truck has factory fender flares?

No. These are designed for vehicles without factory fender flares. Verify your model's current configuration before ordering to ensure proper clearance and fitment.
