A couple of comments that would make realignment easier and safer 1) mark the original position of the tailgate with painters tape 2) support the tailgate with shims when removing/installing 3) mark the position of the hinges on the body with a sharpie, I believe they the countours are identical 4) be paranoid about the tailgate floating nuts, if they fall out you are up a creek 5) test alignment with and without the tire 6) another company has also stated that squareness adjustments (panel gaps) should be done with the 4 screws on the tailgate while tilt should be corrected with the hinger bolts. Mine arrives tomorrow, will attempt install this weekend. I only run 33s at the moment so doing this mostly for the looks. May put in 35s when I replace the tires a few years down the road.

how's it been holding up? were you able to get it realigned with the tire on it? looking to pull the trigger on these. great video!
Holding up great! No issues at all.
Great video. How long did it take to get the tailgate aligned?
About 10 minutes, but honestly I need to do it again after putting the wheel/tire back on. I highly recommend someone help you with this part.
