Chris does an OUTSTANDING job explaining installation. Well done. The only helpful hint I might offer (just completed installation) is to make sure that all of the nuts a FINGER TIGHTENED before connecting to the frame of the truck. I needed to push the parts together using a hammer and a block of wood in the wheel well so that the frame bolts lined up correctly with the truck frame. In fact, I suggest finger tighten and then 1/2 turn loose. Install took four hours including reassembling spare, heat shields and exhaust hangers removed prior to install. 2021 Chevy 3500 Duramax.
