@ATXraptor75 Would you mind sharing a photo showing were the tailgate contacts the bumper? I also have this bumper on order but if it’s going to make contact then I may cancel it. I’m not going to tolerate it.

Would you mind sharing how you dove tailed the bed?

If you can find an ADD Pro rear bumper, not the one identified as “ bolt on”, but has been discontinued. It’s basically the same bumper and I had no issues with the tailgate hitting. I’ve not done a dovetail yet, I just painted the exposed body color part black.

Did you end up dovetailing it /!! Installing my Evil rear this weekend

I just had to notch the bolt holes down about 1/4 in to get tailgate to not hit. Haven’t had an issue since the initial mock up install.

Did you do the dovetail yourself or have a shop do it? If you did it yourself, did you make a template for the cut? And what did you use to cut the material. It’s the area closest to the fender flare that concerns me the most, or at least the part I’m most likely to screw up

That looks bad ass. Seriously. I just cannot get that connected to my raptor….knowing they make a V8 and I don’t own one.
