How did you mount the awning to the rack? Looking at an ARB awning also for my K9 rack.

You can look up the price on their site and for coating I got them bare then primed and used rustoleum truck bed lining. Already touched them up and its easy to do still on the truck.

Nope I can still use the hatch like original, not interference at all.Looks great! I have the same color as well in Limited...if only mine came with the Trail bumper
I have a question with the step ladder. Might kind of be obvious, but is the trunk/hatch pretty much immobile with the ladder installed?
I'll have my bumper up for grabs in less than a month since the SSO is a full replacement.

Recent shot after swapping out my OME889s for Icon Overland springs in the rear, and new CaliFab trailing arms. Gave about an inch if not more additional lift, only a few weeks left before the SSO Rear.arty:
Are you getting any rubs after getting the ray10s?

Looks awesome! Any issues with the spidertrax/TE wheels when you first had them? I have '13 SR5 with the same TE wheels, and will be lifting 2.5/1.5 with Bilstein/Daystar, and was also considering the same st maxx 255/80R17s. I was expecting some trimming/fender push forward, but was wondering if any other large issues?

The only issue I had was removing the front mud flaps, with the 255s and spacers that was the only rubbing I ran into on and offroad so you should be good. Ive since put the mudflaps back on but trimmed the center out of them eliminating where it was rubbing and so far not having any issues.

What mounts did you use for the awning to the K9 rack?

I havent run front plates on this or my past vehicle, and so far ive never been pulled for it. From my understanding its a secondary offense so as long as you arent getting pulled for something else they dont bother.
No. The front tag is a primary offense in VA. Secondary offenses include seatbelt and other civil charges

How did the k9 mounts work with the arb awning?

The bolt spacing on the k9 mount was just a tad (as in a mm or two) wider than the spacing on the arb awning but with a little elbow grease I was able to get them positioned. To make it perfect im sure you could use a file or maybe even a drill bit to make some more wiggle space. All in all I wouldnt stray away from the combo they have stayed on just fine and been plenty sturdy even so using the awning to pull myself up.
Correction: I only have the two top bolts connecting the arb/k9 mount as the four on the k9 didnt all match up.

In sticking with trying to run springs from the same company (fr/rear) I was planning on swapping out to 898s which is the next size up from the 889s. I went against this for two reasons: first pure curiosity of trying a dual rate coil, and two wanting the additional lift to compensate for the bumper. With two weeks and 2,000ish miles im very happy with the Icons even without the weight, the coil is much more comfortable having dual rates since mine is a daily as well.
