Did the Huskies in mine today also. First one took about 30 minutes. Trimmed about 3/8” off the bottom of both ends. Also drilled new 1/2” holes in the bottom edge of the liners about 1/4” above the exiting holes. Second one took about 10 minutes. They look pretty good.

I got mine installed on my '20. I knew it was going to be a fight from having installed them on my '18.

You can't put the liner in and then force the two lower ends up into the pockets cause you can't possibly exert that much pressure to seat it. You have to angle it in like the picture shows (with both lower ends in their positions) and then you just push the center section while pulling the liner section that will be screwed to the truck toward you to help flex it while you are pushing the "top" into place. I'm pretty sure that the whole idea is that once these things are in you almost don't need the screws to keep them there. But the screws do keep the lower middle section from flexing in toward the tire. I did wait until it was a sunny afternoon to do this and let the liners get warm for a few minutes. I also took the tires off because I was installing Rokblokz mud guards at the same time.

I did think about dremeling a bit off the bottom of the two sides so they'd go in easier. But didn't do it in the end.

They look good when the fights over though!

I’d like to jump in and ask, are the Husky liners superior to the Ford’s? Haven’t gotten a chance to see what the Ford offerings even look like yet.

Do these rub on the live valve hose coming to the shock? I feel like I read somewhere that they do.

Also, could they be installed and be ok without drilling hole C in the instructions?
