    Well, when I get them installed I will let you know, then depending on how far from Burnsville you are you can come take a look at them.

    Pretty close to me then, Im off cliff and 13.

    If you end up buying some mcneils we might have to order at the same time, I still need the rear bed sides, but the shipping cost is nearly the price of the parts.... maybe we could get a discount on shipping if we combine.

    I’m not OP but my McNeills fit perfectly. Received them, drilled holes on the dimples, had them painted without test fitting. Everything pretty much lined up without issue. The ‘glass is pretty thick too. Much thicker than my roadrunners. Even with the lips cut off they are pretty sturdy.

    They're my current favorite option, just trying to decide what else to do first.

    You probably already know this because I’ve said it before, but sometimes I wish I would have gotten the smaller option. Those were available when I got mine so I have the six inch airplane wings. :rofl:

    Yeah, I've only got a 2.25" kit so I plan on sticking with the 3" bulge...just enough to keep my wheels inside the fenders if I can!

    Perfect. You’ve seen mine but look how wide they are. Granted I guess it’s perfect for my width otherwise I’d be hitting the fenders at full compression.

    Beautiful truck, and everything comes out perfectly balanced.

    What width is this LT kit?
    What brand and bulge size fiberglass?
    What size tire?

    Again, just awesome.

    looks like a dirt king 3.5" kit, advanced 4" fenders, and milestar patagonia mt02's in either 35's or 37's 12.5" wide...hard to guess from the front.

    Yeah. Lesson. Don’t upgrade after 37’s. My new tires are only an inch bigger both ways but looking at old pics my truck looks like it’s on roller skates. :rofl:

    Just a bit of trimming here and there and a few thousand more in steering/axle upgrades. :spending::spending::spending:

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    you just didn’t cut enough the first time
    Mine only rubs at full bump and lock
    And if the core support ever gets sorted out that won’t be a problem anymore

    Spend 9 hours trying to fit the McNeil +2 bedsides. Could not get the tail lights to line up..and the tailgate to close.

    I doing something wrong? Or McNeils fitment suck? Or both?

    Absolute waste of a day.. McNeil was suppose to email me some photos, they never did..

    You would have better luck with a sander or buzz saw. I’ve done it a few times already.
