Leave the part that mounts to the frame and the inner rail alone. Cut the outer rail off at the horizontal mounts. Use some plate steel to extend the tabs so that the outer rail is sticking out the proper amount. Also add some extra tabs for extra support. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>That would work too, but I would have to take it off anyway and the spacers would be quick, even and easy.

I have to use one for each bolt though because the driver's side has a wire and the fuel filter box (I think). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I am not fond of the blocks idea. Can't pinpoint why off the top of my head. Just doesn't "feel" right.

Another idea is to cut the outer rails off from the tabs and get some custom outer rails made up by a metal shop. You could then bolt them back to the tabs using the holes the steps bolt to.
