NO. But they had to install the "flat" tire pressure sensors as the others broke off when the wheels turned. -
JL Audio System... Ok, I finally got my system installed. I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ Crew Cab with Bose. It hits hard and deep and clean. I did not want to fork out the $1500 for the JL Stealthbox with 2 of their thin 12'' subs. I've always had the W3s and loved their clean deep sound and didn't want to risk being dissappointed with their thin subs. So I did a lot of research and ended up with the following: (PLUS, I saved about $500 overall doing it this way.) I hope this posts helps clarify some challenges/questions.

If you do, you'll see a microphone thing on the ceiling above your rear seat. LLJ Customs can provide you a harness bypass plug as part of your T-harness purchase if you do.

Ride quality is great. Can't even tell a difference really. My wife keeps her Wrangler in our garage.
