Yes if its the pa 3" you'll have a steering extension and have to drill the bumper brackets.

I've went over every connection that get's disconnected in the install. They left a lot of grounds off and they tried to replace em with like little 18guage wire. Im hoping that is the issue. Either way I had to drive 1500miles without cruise thanks to them.

Hope your install goes better! post pics after and if you see anything that would cause my problem lmk! haha

god that would **** me off. did u try to get ur money back or anything. im sure that would be a hassel but still

They only charged 300 for the install. Which I would have gladly paid more for a quality install without all this headache. But it was supposedly a good 4x4 shop. I'm gonna take it to dodge when I get some time and see what they say and contact the shop and try to make them pay the cost to fix.
You and I have TERRIBLE luck with these trucks.. lol

Just put it on today in about 5 hours so far no problems and I don't have to move the exhaust because it looks fine now I'm just debating on if I should keep my steps off or not and I managed to only use one dril bit and it only took about 3 min to drill all 4 holes

Yea and they are over priced pieces of rubber. Installing them with a drill was ridiculous so I just used a pick. Just one of the sharp straight picks and a philips head screw driver. Id hold the gap guard up and use the pick to push through the plastic then the philips head Id ram through (pun intended) and it'd open it up enough for the push pin to go through and stay.
