You have to cut and reshape the shell of the mirror mount. Also you have to drill a new hole for the superduty mirrors.

So is it more trouble than it's worth?

They look too big on the half tons, they give your truck the bloodhound ears in the wind look...

They make em for our trucks, it's not worth the trouble either way unless you are towing 24' enclosed trailers....

I don't like the factory mirrors at all... You can't see anything, I wanted super duty mirrors, saw them on a half ton, went with a backup cam instead haha
