Altogether I was probably around 5 hours. It’s not as daunting as some have described, you can easily see both modules, but both sides are tight working spaces. I was able to remove all six screws from the top, rather than from the bottom through the wheel wells. Removing the horn on each side frees up working space, and only one bolt on each horn bracket to remove.

The top two screws on each side require patience, and a flexible T-15 tool, but they are doable. The bottom screw on each side is a little more difficult to reach, the passenger side is visible, just requires some finesse to reach and remove. The drivers side is very difficult to see (I did remove three screws and four plastic plugs on the wheel wells liner so I could see, I also removed three bolts and one plastic push plug on top of the drivers side fender, then pushed it outwards and placed a screwdriver in the plastic push plug hole to hold it….this gave me just enough room to get my hand between the fender and the module) but once spotted, it’s reachable from the top, again requires patience, finesse, and swearing.

On both sides, once the modules are removed, it’s easy to change out the module boards, and then some swearing during the replacement is all that’s required.

In the end….it’s totally worth it, for me anyway, I really like the look….as the front of a Raptor should look.
Thank you for the explanation. Once winter comes I’ll tackle this.

I just did mine yesterday one thing I would recommend lifting the truck with a jack so you have some more room to manuever between the fenders and tires. overall it wasn't too bad. I was also able to remove all three screws from the top but when reinstalling I just put the bottom one in from the fender wall. I also found that my screws were a T20 or at least a T20 fit snugger than a T15 did all in all it wasn't to bad hardest part for me was unclipping the lights

Make sure the websites spelled out, if you Google it you get their or someone's fleet design and decal wraps, not sure if its the same but there is no links to the above site.

The big company site is abbreviated RMGinc or something like that

No I didn’t in the 150 miles I have driven it so far.
I will be doing a live valve reset via forscan soon just to make sure that the truck knows it’s new zero height.
