Recon line of fire

I order one of these off Ebay. They claimed it worked on Dodge Rams but did not state years. Well I found out the hard way they do not. The hole that allows you to drop the spare is in the way. Well ofcourse after I stuck it on the tailgate would not drop all the way. While adjusting trying to adjust it. I dropped the tailgate Dented the corner and had to bend it out to get it back on. Ruined the paint in the corner The only positive thing is once I bring my truck to a body shop I will have a srt-10 hood put on or a good hood . BUT DAMM I HATE SCRATCHING MY TRUCK!!!!

i have the recon line of fire-which i ordered from recon accessories. it will block the spare tire hole alittle- you need to mount it down alittle to clear the tailgate. i have had mine on for six months-no trouble!-no rubbing! if you can't get the bar in the hole precisely to let down the spare. you need to undo the one screw to slightly move the light bar!

I ended up mounting mine with sheet metal screws and threw away the mounting tabs.

My left turn/brake quit working last week after only having it for a month. I go the reverse lights also. Looks cool just wish it worked all of the time.
