Bought a pair of these for my BT50 with no idea of how to install. Thanks to your very informative video fitting was a breeze. Cheers Dave.

Nice one Dave ,dont forget to bend your split pin or it will fall out😉

[@redgolfnick]

Excellent video cheers Dave. Don’t drops nice & easy but bloody hell it seems harder to lift back up now 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

There is an "easy up" kit too that I have seen first hand, and you can lift the rear tail up with literally one finger. But that kit is about 100quid.

Thank you

Can you write/type down all the tools. Im planning to buy my first set of tools for my new car. Never had to custom a car before. And i am overwhelmed by how many tools there are. I would really appreciate it.

I think for basic mods and to do pretty much any of the simple jobs a very basic but comprehensive socket set would do you. Something like this... amzn.to/2ZcLGKD Then maybe a screwdriver set like this too to bulk it out. amzn.to/3fTJSw5

@@DetailingandtheBeast thanks man... My first install is the tail gate dampers...

Socket set and some torx head bits for the driver. 👍 Good easy job to get started!
