Did you get your liners squared away? I just installed the Husky liners on my 2022 and they fit perfectly! did you remove the rear guards prior to install like the instructions indicated?

One side is like yours now and the passenger side is still not perfect. Yeah I pulled the rear flap nearly off it was just kind of hanging down. 
 

I can tell two differences in yours right away. Your plastic plugs are different looking and yours are cut much higher around the top of the rear leaf. Mine are a lot longer they go only an inch or so above the rear leaf. Curious how far down yours hang below the frame?

 

I’ll take a couple pics

4.8mb max size is annoying. Having to do multiple posts

 

as you can see, quality control at Husky is a clown show obviously. 
 

they sent a total of 2 sets and I had to piece together the best of them. They did discount them for the trouble and were good to deal with on the issue so I’ll leave it at that. For the price they are fine and fill their purpose. 
 

I will trim them away from the leaf in the rear because I just noticed I can see rub marks from them touching the leaves.

Here's a couple photos. My set is definitely cut higher. right about frame height.

Still waiting on my truck; it's in Oshawa. In the meantime, I've been getting together some stuff and today got this which might be interesting to some with full consoles but lower trim or content level.

 

Wireless Charging Console Upgrade

 

This has a proprietary adapter to get power from 12V dash plug; no cutting needed. They have both black and Dark Atmosphere, which I got.

 

Install Link

 

This link is for the install of the console top conversion and install of the optional cooling duct to the module. 404parts also has a video on YT but doesn't go into the duct install process. Offhand, I don't see the harness is available separately.

the rear of mine is where they ride really close to the leaf springs. 
 

I used my dremel and cut out and sanded back the plastic a bit. 
 

this tells me quality control sucks at Husky. 
 

here is after I cut them back a little. I want the most coverage possible without the plastic hitting the leaf.

This looks pretty cool. I doubt it would work in my truck it looks like it grabs carpet. Mine has no carpet and the factory Chevrolet rubber floor mats that interlock right on the trans hump

I installed a Peragon cover, Westin bull bar and MBRP stainless exhaust. Waiting on Morimoto headlights.

How do you like the exhaust? Were the mufflers smaller and lighter than stock?  Is that still single exit or dual?

Truck came this afternoon, so just a little time for mods. I put on the LTZ grille overlay and mirror caps, and in a bit of throwback to squarebodies, some "400" emblems on the plastic hood inserts.

 

 

I have a lot of stuff to do; running boards, replacement bumpers, and a Roadmaster rear sway bar.

Those 400 badges are cool. Where did you get them?

They're metal and ~$11-$12 per pair. There is also some silver ones.

 

EDIT: If you prefer metric call-outs, there's THESE and are available in a few color choices.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
