    Since mine are mounted in the front most bed bolts (B in pic below) and rotated to the outside, I have had no issues with them interfering with loads. I’d take a couple shots but the bed if full of camping gear.

    Is this grill something that you ordered all painted or did you buy the grill and send it to a local body shop? If you bought it painted can you give me the info to order one all painted.

    Nice!

    1-12" Alpine S replaced 2-12's of another brand here.

    My itching ears decided that was more than enough.

    I know Im forgetting something.

    My ocd is kicking in and decided to install this on drivers side: The height is off by about 3/4” between driver's side v passengers side. Only trouble is it won’t stop snowing....

    I need to do something for my A/C controls. Problem is, the bulbs aren't burned out. Every now and again, they turn on! I used to be able to tap it to get them to come on. I've thought about trying to add some dielectric grease to the connectors to see if that had any impact, but I've been too lazy. I'd like to figure out the actual fix.

    Now you guys have me worrying about spark plugs. Was in for the 75k service and that's when they told me they won't replace them until 100k+. Seems like a good money grab for the dealer so why would they wait?

    I like them so far. I don’t really have any comments on maintenance yet other than it’s just 6 zerks. Should take less than 5 minutes.

    i was not even aware this product existed. My drivers side is about 3/4 inch lower than the passenger side after I did my Dakar leaf pack along with bilstein shocks. Was the instal straight forward and easy? Would you recommend or just leave it the way it is?

    Thanks

    Here I thought everybody knew about this weight/height diff. That 21 gallons of gas on the drivers side doesn’t help. I think most owners don’t care about the small difference. Maybe I’m wrong. Some spring manufacturers make a right and left side version to make up for this difference. Would I recommend it? It’s up to each person to make that decision. Like I mentioned my OCD was kicking in, I got these on sale. I have not installed yet because of weather, I don’t have a garage. Install is straight forward. Because of weather, I’ll probably ask a favor from someone and install.
