Looks good! Did you DIY install? If so, any advice / recommendations?

Beautiful. Before adding the tent, did you notice a difference in the drive? (Weight, lag, etc.) I get mine installed next Thursday. 6’ EVOa

Self-install, yup!

Only advice is to take it slow, avoid having to loosen anything back up after tightening and make sure you don't over tighten anything...use appropriate torque!

I don't think it felt any different, just harder to see in the rear view mirror.

They're the bomb.

Smartcap is very specific about the torque specs. My old Harbor Freight torque wrench was not capable of the required specs.

I bought this torque wrench from the Amazon Jungle and can recommend it: "LLavator 3/8 inch Click Torque Wrench,3.69-44.25ft.lb & 5-60N.m dual scale Torque Wrench" (This forum won't allow the link.) $30 vs. a lot more for most others.
