    I'll get some today. It looks and feels like a whole different truck now. Just need to figure out my steering issue.

    It might also depend on your spring rate. I have 700# springs.

    With King MT coil overs you pretty much have to take them out and use a spring compressor to adjust the height. LT coil overs don't because the resi connection is different, pushes out the resi hose a bit more allowing the room.

    I still had to move the resi connection side to side to get the punch past it. But I just turned it back to its original angle afterwards and made sure the compression nut was tight.

    Same. I think mine just barely fit without having to move the resi connection much.

    Someone else asked that before and never got a definitive answer.. I'd guess yes, may have minor styling changes though

    That's what i was thinking but i know the bed rails are lower on the 3rd than on the 2nd gen so the mounting brackets would be different

    That's what I meant. But the bed rail where the cleats go is a little lower too, at least it looked like it

    I was at the dealer today (ordered my mom a new whore runner) and looked at a 17' in the showroom, didn't notice it being any lower but then again I wasn't exactly looking for that.

    Well, with all the extra wiring I had to get out of the way, it maybe added an extra 30min. It wasn't bad at all. Kinda awkward with the cut besides.

    I'm cleaning the frame, boxing it, custom crossmember, new towers for 12" shocks finally and POR15 it all

    Really was only 30 mins to get it off? Might look into doing that then when I do all the frame paint touch up and such from this winter

    Yup! It isn't bad at all. And since it's composite, it's super light. I had 3 people help me but it's easily doable with two

    I'm beyond freaking jealous you got body damage. Out of all the shit I've wheeled, I have yet to break or scratch anything besides sliders or wheels. Like it's one thing I just need already is body damage lol
