Look at the PA instructions...there's a wiring harness hold down on the block...it's in the instructions to unbolt it. Unbolt it, lift the truck, try and bolt it back up, if you can't, leave it. Instructions say it.

I did that, was unable to bolt it back up, left it hangin' there, and the battery cable was still pretty dang tight...so I broke the harness retainer behind the a/c compressor and that cured my issue.

 

mine was the same way i bleave the notch end goes down. mine went right on

 

wtf notch goes down no need to drill holes like that and FYI it goes on the outside of the inner bumper bracket

 

So...you saying mine are upsidedown???

 

no yours is correct see that sharp notch on the lower side thats the "notch" we are talking about idk what in hell OP did. also where is your side brace for the bumper?

 

Won't fit. tried on mine, maries, trevors, and austins. No bueno on the side brace.

 

take the side brace off and notch the hole in the brace on the spot with the Torq bolt with bit or grinding bit. had to do it to almost all the trucks i have done

 

Stone...i'm callin' ya out....you are wrong. OP NEEEEDED to cut those holes. Sharp notch on top. Both pics are driver side. OP's correct. Summit evidently doesn't have that little notch that PA has. BAM! OWNED!

 

BUT...then the cross brace hole is moved. I still say you are wrong.

 

what are you talking about?

i have installed a summit kit bracket was the same as all the PA i have done...

once again wtf are you talking about...

 

is he saying he had two of the same brackets? i didnt get his post thus the wtf..

 

Dont worry....

there's only one big notch on that summit bracket...PA there's one big one and one small one. idk. whatever.


Ory Muse's Summit BL came with two of the same bumper backets for his. Just so you know. 2nd guy to get two of the same brackets.

 

I have seen 3 version of rear brackets over the years from PA btw Shane...

see i didnt know his came with two of the same thus the wtf i was confused.

Bill got two of the same front one's before it happens...


and on the rear brace yours you ****** you take the hole in the brace and enlong it. to alow it to bolt up we are talking like 3/8" enlong if that

 

He stated he got two of the same brackets right in this thread, Stone! lol.


Yea...i'll mess with it someday.....pain in the *** bumper and hitch in same holes are holding me back from messin' with 'em.

 

wait so am I going to have problems since I have a hitch? What problem do you run in to and whats the fix? I am doing my bl this saturday by myself, can't find anyone that will help and I have no idea what Im doing. Read the instructions 3 times though

 

I didnt read the whole thread after like page 2.. stop caring lol... and you dont need to remove the bumper to put that on



brackets arnt wide enough for the hitch and brackets it gets annoying to put on

 

exactly ! Shane nailed it. understanding my rambling post haha.
still waiting on a correct bracket from summit...

But hear it is in all its done glory!

 

it really looks good. those are 32's right?.... it's looks 10x better than mine did when i drove it with bl and 31's for 5 months

 

Looks good man.

 

body damage getting fixed soon?

 

Looks good man! Now send me your door handles. lol

 

Looks good. bodylines are a little off...tighten the front of the bed down some more. Looks like bed alignment needs addressed, but it could just be the picture using flash...idk.


Glad it all finally got done.

 

a better day time pic,
summit sent me new umperbrackets that are correct! they really did a good job keeping me happy.I have not put them in so i still have a goofy back bumper.
i am really loving the bl stance. if anyone is on the fence if they should bl, i say do it! you will not regret it even if it is a major pain with installation


I tried to drop the back piping on my catback, but the tubes were bonded to each other and i did not want to cut it off, instead i slanted the jba tip up and as you can see burned the tip for style points, i really like it!


And i put the night shade in !!!



thread jacking my own thread muhahahaha

 

looks really good!

are those 32s??
