I ordered my truck w/o the camper package for a reason. I didn't like the overloads slapping on my last truck. I could have removed them on the new one, and utilized the OEM A/S bar, but decided to try the Hellwig unit. It is a larger diameter than stock, and I have had good luck with their products in the past.
Just before I ordered the A/S bar kit, I heard that it would not fit with a Mag-Hytec rear cover. I contacted Hellwig, and was informed that they had updated the kit, and it would work. They had, and it did.
Worst thing about the kit was the finish. Mind you, my truck is not a showpiece, and will never be entered in a show-and-shine, but this was rough and poorly painted. Burrs big enough to cut yourself, or rip clothing on. Spent a couple hours grinding/sanding, and then painted w/Hammerite. Couldn't justify powdercoating
Installation was simple, and the unit has held up well for the last year. It has done the job. It could be improved upon just a bit, and time will tell if this will be necessary, but, overall, I'm satisfied.
