The front crossmember is shaped a little different, and the frame rails from
the tranny back
seem to be wider than the earlier DAKS. So, the front plate usually bolts to
the front crossmember
and then comes with another cross bace that goes between the frame rails about
3 feet back. It wasn't
wide enough to even meet the frame rails on my truck. Also, the transfer case
skid plate was about
2 inches shorter than necessary to bolt up to mine. And didn't line up with
anything at all. That rear
crossmember by the transfer case is re-designed as well. I'm hoping with the
popularity of the
Quad Cab that someone will come up with a nice set soon.

why wont they fit is it the holes or what???
