Their instructions are pretty good, but you have to go to the product page to find them.
The one nearest the cab was a hot hassle to install. The bolt all the way forward was not the best, and I have large hands.
They're for clearance, and work a treat. I just put their bed rack on today, and the shims allow the rack to sit just above the cap without crushing anything. They'd have to do variable widths or billet pieces to be more precise, maybe. Did you measure the individual shims while you had it all...

I didn't see a thread on this already. Apologies if my search-fu just sucks. It's totally possible.
Anyway, received notification that inspection and software remedy are available for this, but parts are not available. Which is fine. Inspection, update, low likelihood of parts needing to be...

Considering replacing the ARB switch with a marine rated one since I don't have a cover or anything on my bed...
