    Do you have pics of how it looks?
    I got it for my 09 and everything looks the same as in the directions and it bolted right on , but it's a tight fit and doesn't work right but i figured i'd try.
    I'm trying to see what they changed after 07, the guy at Redline said that there is a security bolt or something like that.
    So for now it's a FAIL!:(

    Here's the EZ Down install on my 09, looks good,but it binds up with the cable when closed (as stated by another member) and it seems like it's too wide to fit between the taillight and tailgate when closed.
    I figured it was worth a shot.:(
    [​IMG]
    Everything goes in just like the directions
    [​IMG]
    They give you a replacement bolt for the bottom taillight bolt (bolt that is missing in the picture, it hits the side of the EZ Down) , but the EZ Down hits the new one also making for a very tight fit.
    [​IMG]
    Anyone have a picture of the area on the drivers side with the tailgate down from an 05 - 07 ,i'm trying to see what the differance is?

    thanks Denis

    I should be getting mine and installing it today guys. Any advice or tips? I will not be using a riveter or rivets. I will be using short sheet metal screws like stated before!

    Looks good JLee.

    Has anyone else(or does anyone plan to use) sheet metal screws instead of the rivets like me?

    This worries me because of how thin the sheet metal is on the hood. I think before long the sheet metal screws will pull out of the hood. Bolt and nut/washer would be better.

    I got a craftsman rivet gun for 10.99 at my local sears. Why not do the rivets?

    Just not comfortable with it. If the screw does come out then I will already have that hole drilled. So I can just take a bolt/nut and place it on. I will let everyone know how this works out!

    Thanks!
