I did mine a couple of weeks back. I'm kind of disappointed with it. There are some rattles that I can't get rid of. I will be taking the wheel off this weekend to readjust and it was a complete PAIN IN THE ASS to install. I have some surface rust and the the plastic end caps on the T handle won't stay in. Putting the support bar in the driver's side taillight area was just stupid hard...even with a right angle drill and the proper handtools.
I kinda wish I would have saved for a bumper/tire carrier...I hope I feel better about it after a readjust this weekend.

I wished the same thing about the bumper/tire carrier, but I still like ORfabs design a lot. I'm having a local shop help out with the sagging issue from the bolts not being tight. I just don't have the tools!

I installed mine this weekend, no preload issues yet, I did have to wrench down on the landing block pretty hard after about 20 miles of washboarded roads, after that, alls well. As for rust, I'm in Arizona what is "rust"
