Door Seal to big
I was slamming mine fairly hard after putting in new LMC ones. I then put some pex pipe around the striker and it is way better. Then new striker had a piece of plastic around them from factory. If your striker is missing the plastic, try the pex pipe trick -
Bump Stops
I trimmed the new ones I got from LMC. Just enough to get them in there. They aren't coming out on their own even after trimming. Lots of lube as well- Cemack

To fix this issue, I removed my wheels and set the truck on jackstands as low as they go. I have restored 3 different trucks and used this lift for...- Cemack

Removing Pilot Bearing//Is it as bad as I hear?
I have used the bread method and it worked like a charm. Not sure who “debunked it”, but they must not have done it properly. The key is, the cut off bolt you pound in there has to be a snug fit- Cemack

Badges
Need to know where to drill the holes for the badges. Threw the old fenders out without realizing the new ones didn’t have the holes- Cemack
