Installed this on my 2005 F250 Extended Cab today. The first thing to say is that this is a little different from stock. The bolts are completely different, but you already know that by reading other reviews. So I reused my screws. Another big difference is in the metal part. Completely different. But I installed it anyway. I thought maybe Dorman had perfected Ford's design since the standard design is obviously not perfect. So I went and installed it and it's like a new truck. Doesn't matter! But yes, watch out for the touring studs. You will need both. - And to remove the old one, unscrew the screw, screw it back in and hit it with a hammer. saved my day
