Good fit, medium setting.

Need to drill a few 1/2" holes for my setup. There are no instructions on how to install the bolt behind the coil wire shock. I threw in the bolt and had to remove and reinstall the shock. A bit of a pain but I'll know better next time.Took about 3 hours total even with 2 trips to the hardware store for bolts to install the shock mount and get a replacement for a 5/8" nut that didn't was included. My bolt kit was missing 1 bolt and 2 nuts. Everyone regarding my first ID says everything went…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Long

Need better packaging

Overall this is a great product and does what it is supposed to do. The installation time is 4 hours and it may have taken around 6 hours to install if you have done this before. I can only assume that it fell out in transit. Revane worked with me on my return and the other was sent directly from Kurt. The second box arrived safely, all the equipment was there. All of this could have been avoided if it had been better to pack or just shrink-wrap the gear bag and plates before putting them in…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • No instructions

. READ! This is not a straight bolt for F250/F350 series trucks 2011 and up. I used to have a 2006 F250 and they were perfect. I expected the same from my 2011. The new frame does not have matching screw holes. Plan to drill holes to make them work. Also note that the Ford frame rails are made of hardened steel and require a quality drill bit. I spoke to Kurt and they swear the Ford frames are the same. You are not. If you're a mechanic this is still a much better option to start with than the…

Pros
  • . Don't waste too much time.
Cons
  • . There are nuances.

Sturdy mount that doesn't fit well

Mount is strong, but when I think of custom I think of something that's ready to go. It took me an angle grinder, flashlight, step drill and lots of patients to fit these braces to my 2005 250 8 foot bed. I first called the factory to get the correct part number for my truck and then when I had problems I called again to check. The problem lies in the location of the crossmembers on the truck body in relation to the crossmember cutouts on the brackets. Positioning the fifth wheel brackets in…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Kurt will not defend its products or offer any kind of endorsement.

There are very few products that I rate negatively, mostly because I do a lot of research before buying. This product could easily have earned a 5 star rating were it not for Kurt's utter lack of support or customer service. I'm giving it two stars as I think this set will perform as expected. I received the box in a very mangled state, which is what Kurt is known for. You can blame UPS for this, but only a very small percentage of my other UPS packages have ever been damaged in any way.

  • Fingers crossed
