Okay so I start this install today, starting with the rear driver side since my mudflap is missing on that side from the last Raptor run. Previously I just used self tapers and had to take the rear wheels off. Genius of the OP to use the existing bolts, duh! Life saver and no need to remove tire, easy peasy I am thinking. I spend a lot of time working on getting it just right using a level and shit. Don't look half bad.

I use it as a template for the other one and drill the holes thinking, oh this next one will be a piece of cake. Remove the 3 bolts and screw this sucker in. I step back and look. **** me!!!

I go check both sides. Screws are perfect, i measure the top one, yep 1" down and 3/4" from the edge. Check it all, its right.

So I undo it and get out the level and start over. Still ain't right and now one is 1/2" higher on one side. Screw it, its close enough.

Getting dark, get out the lights and finish the two fronts. Pics tomorrow when there is daylight.
