    Oh okay! That's a good security measure. You have the older style "trigger" locks. I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow and show the updated version that aluminess is now using

    @rotti: It's just the angle, tail lights are not covered and are clearly visible @dako: Wider jack plates will be necessary. I measured it and it's about 1/4" gap so I'd just slap on the wider plates. I have not yet attempted to take the camper off, I have it on the truck 100% of the...

    Bombsight- The rear bumper will fit both the GMC and the Chevy. It is my understanding that the front is where there is a slight difference in bolt patterns/body lines. When I ordered the rear in August of last year, Aluminess had only done one GMC front bumper at that time. I'm not sure...

    I am in the area with a 2008 GMC 2500 Z71 with a FWC Hawk on it. I plan on heading over to aluminess as soon as my schedule allows (a week or so). I have no problem leaving my truck with them for awhile for them to fab stuff up. I'm not sure what the difference is between a 2008 and a...
