yeah I'm happy with the way it turned out but it was not as easy as some have said, there was a lot of custom work to get it in there, the handle itself was modified, the handle bucket was modified to get the handle to sit as flat as possible, as well the tailgate links, the links were actually made from two different sets to get the right geometry/angle when the tailgate is open. the latches were modified quite a bit, The tailgate had several changes to the sides it is quite a bit of cutting and clearancing to get the hard tailgate links into a factory tailgate. I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the other things we changed just to make it work.
