You need to cut the taillight metal piece to fit the 15 lights

Drill new holes for the lights to mount since the 15 is a completely new design

You set the bed and cut any pieces that prevent it from sitting right on. Then you clamp the parts that are glued for 6 hours to cure

Cut some tabs on the factory taillight connectors to make them for the 15 connectors.
Got some anzo tails to set off the whole look.

Is the bed slid backwards on the frame for the install, or are you going to have to center the rear axle under the wheel wells?
