    You’d want the whole setup. The bearings keep the tube centered on the spindle and that’s where the nut tightens to, otherwise you can’t secure it down and it would just sit on there and rattle. Might as well just put a coffee cup over the spindle at that point.

    I just meant I'd use the bearings that are currently IN my swingout. Swap it all out into it.

    The bottom bearing has a seal on it. So the main tube, bearings and seal will do the job.

    Just got my HC Rear w/ single swing out & table last week. Billy has been great throughout the whole process, we even talked for more than almost an hour. Now I just can't wait till I get it installed. Will post up some pics when I get there but in the meantime has anyone seen any installation pics/write up/instructions? I had a few questions but per Billy's VM message he's on vacation for longer than I want to wait.:rofl:

    Yes but also there appears to be some parts that I have no idea what they're for. I'll post pics in the morning.

    The part on the right is for the jerry can holder to secure them in with a lock.

    ^ Theyre correct. The 4 long pieces are for bed side supports to keep them from flapping like a bird in the wind. The other is the locking mechanism for the Jerry Can holders

    Hoping my front bumper is ready soon. Ordered Nov 29th or something. Was at powdercoat as of 2 weeks ago.

    Super excited to have Bruteforce parts again!

    @YF_Ryan What size drop you running for your hitch? Also, what did you do about the license plate being in the way of the receiver?

    11 inch drop. Im running Deaver U402 Stage 3 expedition leaf springs so rear is way up there when unloaded. I have a spring loaded plate holder off Amazon. I haven't yet been pulled over with the below (knock on wood). I run with the hitch in 99% of the time. Well over half the miles on my truck are towing.

    I finally got it installed! I didn't have the right size socket to fully tighten the nut on the swing out though so I'm not mounting anything until I get it tightened down completely.

    For those looking for more pics, I
    installed a Bruteforce High Clearance rear bumper. Took my time and still finished in under a day. Real happy with how it turned out.
