Wow, best mod ever. Was concerned about clearance with the tailpipe of my 3" single Magnaflow system but it fit fine. 20" spare tire fits as well. Paid $212 shipped and had two days after I ordered it.
Took me just a bit over an hour to install laying under the truck. Hardest part was dropping the spare and reinstalling it. One mistake in the instructions though. They want you to double nut the axle u bolts but not enough thread to do that BUT they have jam nuts in that size so used those. I double nutted the u bolts that go over the frame.
Everything bolted right up, no drilling, all parts were there, nothing missing. Hopefully I mounted it the correct way as they don't tell you which way is up! All I know is that it fit the way I put it in. Was concerned that it might be too close to the spare but it rotates down when the suspension travels. I have seen people complain about the threads on the end links being difficult to thread the nuts on but they are JAM nuts and are supposed to be like that. I threaded the top nut on the stud while it was clamped in a vise and ran them down so a couple threads were showing. With the top washer and poly bushing installed I dropped them thru the frame brackets as I installed them. Had to just move the right brake line a bit to clear the axle brackets.
Was concerned about the end links hitting the tailpipe of my Magnaflow 3" single exhaust but have about 1/2" clearance. Not sure about how it will fit duals.
Now the best part, the results. Taking exit ramps at speeds I never would have before and also drove over my favorite frost heave that would send the back end sideways and much better now! Highly recommended.
