Re: Questions about upgraded door latches

After slamming and slamming the doors harder and harder i installed the latches from www.triquemfg.com and now my doors close like regular doors.All you have to do is cut a little piece of each door out and install the new latches.Well worth the money i must say and a very easy install.

Re: Questions about upgraded door latches

If you go to their site they have the install instructions there. these seem to be the best if your truck is finished as mine is. They are expensive but no repainting or body work in needed. Most of it is bolt on with a bit of cutting of the door which is hidden by the door panel.
