    I went with the Hooke stiffeners cause this is an item I felt I could go cheap on. They've held up great in the time i've had them. No complaints.

    I received these in the mail today, they look like they would fit well. The paint is a bit chipped but I don't care about that. The problem I ran into was in installation- not these stiffeners fault. The factory installed D ring and bed bolt are really tough to remove. I ended up stripping the bed bolt. I tried using an impact drill, didn't go well. Maybe try a breaker bar with someone pushing down on it. There are a few threads about this issue out there. Until I can sort out the stripped D ring bolt, installation is on hold.
