when I do it again on the next truck (starting a 49 in feb!) I will just make all new brackets. making brackets is a double edged sword, the factory brackets are spring steel so you can bump into things and not bend the bracket, but making brackets the steel is not spring steel so if you bump something it will bend. dont hit anything, right? well thats the goal but it happens sometimes.
