Installed 90%. Need to check shock clearness and address one issue with mounting bracket. But she is in.

I stopped by SVC today so that I can give Jarrett a few muffler and got a chance to look at the rack amongst other things, for being a bolt in application it's legit. If I ever decide to part with my current chase rack this is without a doubt the direction I'd go with my truck.

I'm still kinda shocked at how well SVC/Jarrett has done in such a short time period, congrats

Thanks Brian,

Can't week to here the Black Widow exhaust do it's thing.

Can you post some pics of the mounting position on the axel? Thanks.

I'd like to hear the black widow exhaust in person.

Welding and shock installation being done today at BI Motorsports. I will report back once the truck is complete, should be done tomorrow evening.

I did install the bypass rack and rear bumper myself with some help from @DoveTailGnomeo

Fitment is spot on. There were a couple small things that required a tiny bit of "fab work" LOL.

1. I cut off the OEM nut on the bottom of the bed that hold the two large bolts closest to the cab and replaced them with the stronger bolts SVC provided. It is not a must but I also went to the hardware store and bought two additional bolts and replaced the other two also, just for a bit more piece of mind.

2. I cut a small notch in the beam underneath the bed in order for the triangle plate to fit flush against the bed floor. The triangle plate acts to reinforce the 3 bolts that are placed at the end of the bypass rack closest to the tailgate. So there are 6 total mounting locations for the bypass rack, 4 big bolts and then 6 smaller bolts that hold the triangle plate. Sorry if my terminology is incorrect.

The bypass rack feels very sturdy and appears to be bolted down in such a way to maintain rigidity. I will post pics once I get the truck back.

Here's a pic of the 3.5 King that Downsouth Motorsports sent me. These guys are great to work with.

Yeah I can't complain about King at all man, the wait is worth it! Glad your setup is working well. Post some profile pics of the truck. Is the squat any different or pretty much the same?

I'm not speaking from any sort of personal knowledge, but based on some of the pictures that I've seen, it seems to me that the "squat" of this setup is a little taller than stock. Just my guess from pictures, I could be dead wrong. Curious to see your truck and hear your impressions! Good luck man, I'm sure you'll love it
