Will this bolt to my factory holes or do I need to drill?

This bolts to factory mounting points — no drilling. Grab your socket set and you're ready to bolt it on. Test-fit first to confirm alignment before final torque.

What should I do about the primed finish before installing?

Paint or powder coat it to match your truck before or after install — your call. The primer protects the surface during shipping and storage. Light sanding before your final coat will help adhesion, but it's not required.

Does this come with all the bolts and brackets I need?

Hardware is not included with this assembly. Check your OEM service manual or the fastener kit at your local parts counter — most bolt patterns use common hardware you may already have on hand.
