I have an '05 regular cab Ram 1500 and just installed the Westin CPS series nerf bars. I didn't use the support braces that came with them because I couldn't find anywhere to attach them. I assume these were just for the quad cab due to the extra length of those bars for added support but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. If anyone who has installed these on a regular cab could give me some feedback I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Not sure about the Westins, but when I installed my bars, there were two braces. The front only is used for the Reg Cab, while both the front and back are used for the Quad Cab. There should be some black, thick strips of tape on the body. There are holes underneath the tape. Peel that off and it gives you a place to attach the braces. Couple pics below to make it easier.

Yup, I woud recommend installing the brace, those holes that hughes73 pic show are located behind the rocker panel and are covered by tape.
