Installation was simple. I didn't have a helper, so I sat on the ground and balanced them on my knees while I started the bolts. I did not have any issues with bolts lining up. Based on what I saw with my 2016, I have a hard time believing that the holes wouldn't line up. The key is to not tighten anything all the way until all the bolts are in. Each step has three mounting areas, each with a large bolt going vertically into the frame, and horizontally through the pinch weld with 2 nuts/bolts. If you tighten either the vertical or horizontal bolts too soon, you'll probably run into issues. Tighten everything in steps and you'll have no trouble at all.
Although the item title doesn't say it, these are true rock rails in addition to being step bars. The bottom tube is a single continuous piece. They are extremely heavy and sturdy. I replaced my factory Rubicon rails with these on our 2016 Willys. If a step bar that doubles as a rock rail is what you're after, these are a solid bet.
The only downside to speak of is in the design itself. As they are intended to serve as rock rails as well as steps, they fall a little short in the step department. To truly be a functional step, I would want them to sit a bit lower and/or farther out. These place the step right below the body, and with only a couple of inches to step on. This is fine for the kids with small feet, but my size 12 shoes don't have a huge contact patch. Also, with as high as they are, they wouldn't be very helpful if the Jeep were lifted.
If this style of bar is what you're after, these are 100% awesome. However, if your Jeep is lifted or you're vertically challenged yourself, a different style of step bar may suit you better.

Tip to install. Cannot be done alone even with vehicle lift or jacks as video shows.
Put the three main screws in first while two people hold nerf bar. Just a flat parked surface will do. Then do drivers side. Passenger side is done first and is marked as such. While the other two people hold up and align place remaining 6 side panel screws in it then go back and tighten all screws. Looks great and took at most 1 hour total done the way above. If you have screws left over its most likely for older models. Mine fit like a glove. Looks good. Glad I bought and would most certainly buy again. One draw back is without splash guards I foresee small rocks dinging front of bar. Otherwise it's great heavy duty and well built !
SPECIAL NOTE. MY JEEP IS A 2015 SPORT UNLIMITED. MY VEHICLE INFO STATED THIS PRODUCT DID NOT FIT MY YEAR AND MAKE. NO PROBLEMS FITTING BUT DOUBLE CHECK IF NEEDED.

Only "negative" was my set didn't come labeled BUT the holes only line up for the side they're made for so it's hard to get it wrong. A quick look before putting them on and you can tell instantly.
INSTALLATION TIP: the guy in the video used some jack stands to prop up the runner while installing. I don't have any but the BOX it came in worked really well. Slide it under the Jeep, put the runner on top then install the two corner pinch screws first and you're off and running! Once you hand tighten those first two screws, you can move the box and finish up.
I was a little skeptical about getting these bars because people seemed to be complaining about hardware issues and misalignment of the bolt hole pattern, but decided to take a risk, All in all I am very happy, and don't think any other brand is going to do much better on fitment or hardware, but wanted to give others enough detail to decide for themselves. (For comparison I was installing these on a 2009 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara.)
The Good: These are well packaged, solid and very heavy. As far as I can tel,l the bars have more points of contact (3 points of contact) than many of the name brand competitors (2 points of contact) that charge $100-$200 more for the same type of product. I was able to remove the old factory steps and install the new rails by myself in the driveway in about 3 hours with the assistance of 1 jack stand. The hardest part of the install was actually removing the old hardware. (Even with a generous dose of PB Blaster I had a nut break loose from the bracket that held it inside the frame so I had to cut the bolt with a dremmel carbide blade to get the old step off.) I had none of the hardware alignment issues that others reported (all the holes were in the right place if you got the bar aligned properly), and complaints about difficult instructions seem to have caused Tyger to include instructions that are clear and include lots of pretty pictures. I suspect that some of the people that previously reported bolt hole alignment problems probably didn't start on the right side of the vehicle (the instructions a very clear that you need to start at the rear of the vehicle and move forward), didn't put the bar in the right position when they attempted to fit the bars, or don't know how to loose fit a series of bolts and then progressively tighten to center. Generally, if you start mounting from the rear of the vehicle and move forward (otherwise the bar won't tuck under the body mount when you try to bolt the rear part of the bar.
The Bad:
(1) The instructions assume that the underside of the jeep is either all open (07-11), or all threaded (11-17). For some reason my jeep had a threaded hole in the rear on each side, but open slots in the front and middle positions. The hardware that was included did not include a bolt of the right size for the threaded hole. I was able to re-use one of the old bolts from the OEM step to attach the new bars, but if your jeep has seen a lot of water/corrosion you may need to buy a couple of new bolts to get the job done.
(2) Instead of using clips (like the OEM steps) to hold the bolt in place on the inside of the body, Tyger has decided to use nuts that are welded to a bar. You have to gently slide the bar/nut into the body, and leave it sitting loose inside of the frame. I don't know if this is a cost saving for the manufacturer ($0.25?), but it makes installation a PITA. You have to very gently turn the bolt under the nut and pray that the nut has been centered well enough that it will thread itself. If I had to do it over again, I would consider buying clips & nuts at the local auto shop or hardware store to make the process easier.

I just love this set of step downs. They stand out from anything else I have seen......not generic, like the rest. The blocky, heavy look fits in perfectly between the knobby, Falken 35's.
Installation was easy, just like they warned. Plenty of room on the mounting brackets for adjusting the steps level and the rails even.
Wifey can finally climb aboard without the assistance of a step stool.
