Brenthel long travel install

Glass takes three weeks to manufacture, two weeks to ship... By the time they're ready to go on, the truck will be in storage.

Dont forget the 7 weeks to fit McNeils glass...

I'm not hating, but I have to say I don't like McNeil bedsides.

Have you thought about adding a helper spring to keep tension on the springs at full droop?

I think I won't need one, when I say slack I mean 0 preload at full droop, and once I fill the gas tank, add the spare tire and jack, it'll be about right. Probably an inch of preload at full droop.

Are they that bad ?
I like the "trophy" look as opposed to the flat top oem style, so that rules out glassworks pretty much.
Fiberwerx doesn't have anything besides these for a trophy style 09+, they don't look wide enough to me

I didn't like their older ones, they looked a bit cartoonish. They seem to have dialed back the acid with these newer ones.

Ah, see I don't like the cartoonish outrageous look. I think you got a very tasteful build and the yellow on the rack is just the right amount of crazy. To me the wild bulgy flairs just scream pepboys knock off.

I want to see this truck all the way off the ground at full droop front and rear.

I'm going to need a whole bunch more blocks or some monster jack stands. The top of the bed is higher than my head ( I'm 6 foot) at full droop with the tires still on the ground.

looks like you need to get some pipe stands and a couple pa long stroke jacks

I had over 50 hours into McNeil glass on my Frontier. That was a few years ago so it may have changed, but I will never be a customer again.

Build yourself a "drop hitch" in a sense out of some 2x2 square steel and slide it into the receiver hitch. Way safer than the blocks of wood in my experience.... have had those fail on me before. Haha.

Oh, and some big jack stands like this

These builds are pure badassry...I'm gonna rob a bank because of you guys...
