Installed my bed step! This is hands down the best solution for getting into your bed. I must have gotten the last one shipped before they ran out but I have to say Mopar's packing sucks. It was loose in a cardboard box and had broken through all sides and the hardware bag was torn open. Good thing everything was in there and it's built tough:

And for those keeping track of payload, the step itself weighs 16 lbs. I didn't weigh the three bolts. Also of note, It mounts with three bolts and they include one nut and another captive nut welded to a ~6" steel handle (see in pic above) and the instructions show where to use them but I didn't need either nut since my frame had welded in nuts in all three locations. Maybe they made the frame change in anticipation of selling a lot more of these?

Quick and easy install.

Anyway, it's awesome and I'm going to enjoy it every day I don't get any younger.

I couldn’t see any difference in the control arms. They looked the same. I figured that I might as well swap them out as I had them all ready to go.
If you don’t raise too high with the links you will be ok. I went far enough that it was getting bouncy in normal and wouldn’t go into OR2. That’s why I added the Daystar spacers.
You easily added these spacers yourself?

Put in my rock lights (still trying to find the cargo light wire to tap no time lately), tonneau cover, ram valve stem caps, and mopar bug shield. Plasti dipped the bug shield trying to match the paint a bit. This way if it gets chipped I don't have to get it repainted. Waiting on exhaust, wheels, and tires. Oh, and I got Felix his spot on the dash. He's been in every vehicle I've owned since I was 16.
