    Cant complain. Flex good, I stuff 33s to the fender with no bumps and only a tool box in the bed. On road is a little stiff but once I add like 100lbs its pretty smooth

    Im just messin with ya, ive done mine once before and thats why I spent the money on this rack, I dont wanna have to do it again in a year. This rack is beefed up anf comes with a 2 year warranty. Your leafs should be cake though, I did mine by myself in a few hours and didnt have a clue what the fuck I was doing.
