Do you have a 13? I thought that they had to change their design for the new reinforced frames.

Exactly what Joe said. The frame is different in that area for a 13, I'd just give SDHQ a call and I'm sure they'll sort ya out.

Well it only took like 2 hours but I somehow got it. Jason has me on file for having a '13. Another pain in the ass was trying to get the parallelagram to stand up before wrenching that down.

So was this a 6 beer job or a quarter barrel.

I made this video. Use a hammer if it doesn't want to go on the drivers side...it will go.

I didn't use a hammer but I did, by pushing too hard, fire it in the hole and lost it down in the frame rail for a little while. Lots of swearing and use of a wire hanger, I found it again. I thought I was doomed. It was one of those "Come on damn it! Get in there! Klink. Oh shit!"

We did a 2013 yesterday with the bump stop from SDHQ ,it took a little finessing but we got it in.. The rear took 3 of us about 3 hours overall with shocks, but I am not sure its exactly the same, its the ICON 3.0 shock kit.. It all came from SDHQ however... We did the stage 3 I believe...

The pieces were different from the 2013 to 2010-2012 models. We have switched to just the 2013 frame reinforcement kit design as they work on the 10-12 models. They are kind of a pain to put in the first time, they need to be oriented in a certain way. Birdman's video displays this process.

What is that plate for that you are putting in the frame?
