Ahh, yeah wouldn't work for me on the dually anyway as I have that wire disabled in the tune. Come to think of it, I only remember seeing that commanded amperage in the black box. Not sure that I ever saw it in the 411 tune.

A little late on the pics, but here ya go. I loosely fastened the side to the frame, and then bolted the center piece in. Much easier than juggling the whole thing on a creeper. I had to loosen the bumper brackets for some reason too, can’t remember why though. Might have been to align the threaded hole.

Passenger side.

Yeah, I was doing the same thing with installation going piece by piece.
And it looks to fit exactly how it went on my truck; I did have a slight issue with the driver's side shock mount but a little bit of adjustment got it corrected.
Going tomorrow to have the muffler shop move the hanger, and hopefully I can get both the hitch and brake controller installed tomorrow.

What have you been trailering with so far?

What have you been trailering with so far?

The factory hitch; it worked just fine but I just wanted something a little beefier.

Currently do not have a drivers side shock, no issue there. One of these days I’ll bite the bullet and get some Bilsteins, but it hasn’t been high on my list because the ride isn’t bad. I can only imagine what it will be like when I ever get around to the Bilsteins and GMT900 cab mounts.

Rancho RS5000s, and GMT900P cab mounts are in the future for my truck, I'm wanting to make the cab as quiet and as solid riding as a new truck. With Killmat on the floor, double up in the doors, extended cab portion, and roof, it should at least be somewhat quiet.....whenever I get around to it...

The mounts are pretty decent. Ranchos seem great when new and then they have a tendency to turn into POSs. I'd do Bilsteins if I were you. If you have a 3rd door it's always gonna rattle.

No third door, and my brother's truck has Ranchos he put on about a year ago now, and they're still like new. I would love Bilsteins, but oof. Pricey.

I swear I was around $300 for a full set?
