Well.
4 hours of wrenching, grinding, cussing, case off beer and a piss break here she is!
Before
after
the instructions aren’t even worth trying to start a fire with. Here’s a few tips from me:
I did unhook the battery, and my presets were saved which is why I didn’t want to do it to start with.
the body pucks are pretty straight forward, but separating the original washers for the cab was a little aggravating.
The front bumper brackets in the directions just tell you to drill holes theough the tabs, which is wrong. I measured from the bottom of the bracket an inch and a half and clamped my bracket there to drill the two holes.
the directions told me to take the two bolts that are in the fender well that is a huge pain. Come to find out it was for NO REASON.
The rear bed pucks went smooth. Until I realized I didn’t have the bed spacers in. I ended up having to drill the hole out to 1/2” on the square bed spacers to get the rubber isolater in it.
The bolts for the rear bumper were not even close to the correct threads I ended up reusing mine.
griding the studs off therear bumper mount tabs wasn’t bad.
my rear tire winch was rusted so bad it didn’t make the cut back into the truck.
My rear 1000hd bags didn’t affect it, and my hose for the air fill still has slack.
pick up 2 3/8 fender washers for the rear bumper step support, NOTHING in the kit filled the holes in my hitch. Luckily I had some laying around.
Patience and common sense go along way. Love the little more lift without being overbearing !!
