The bracket cleared with the boxes I bought (SC300D/SC300P)

But I had to put some shims behind the latch, It felt like it was around an inch of space between the bed and the Swing case bracket when "just" the 4 corner srews where on and not the last 2 ones behind the latch. So but some **** (1/2") I hade laying around (will do better for final install after LineX) the screw that came with the case where to short for more shims.

The right one is hard to lock, maybe just need some more shims

Thanks, never thought about shiming them out

Today i put in the cabin air filter, the filter door was anything but easy to put on! I still have sore fingers after pushing the corner tabs... cutting was easy when heating the knife!

Primed and painted my Mevotech uppers last night and got them put in as well as Bilsteins set at 2.8 up front, Bilsteins in the rear, and Daystar 1.5” spacer in the rear. Sitting at 39” up front (from 36.5) and 41” in the rear (from 39.5). Need to get it aligned next.

Found a guy who put BBK on his ram 1500, that looks cool. But for a daily driver not so cheap.

That looks so bad ass!!
Too bad there isn't a company that makes rears as well with the red calipers. I would want the full set. BAER and Wilwood might make some, but I'm not spending that kind of money for brakes on my daily driver. My car yes, but not my daily. lol

Didn’t have time to snap a pic cuz it’s fixin’ to rain but I finally hopped aboard the wagon of trucks with the cheap, plastic black tape crap on the doors between the windows removed. Looks much, much better.

I was ready to do it on my white truck but i had the front windows tinted to match the rears before i did.

Totally changed my mind about removing the black. Now I'm going to make them gloss black so they match the windows.

Definitely post pics of that. Hopefully the gloss black is easy to match to the shade of the tint.

Same here. The white would have looked good, but after tint front and rear would look silly with white stripe between IMO
