First post, so I will try to get pictures loaded later.

Bought a new 2012 F350 about three weeks ago and I LOVE IT! Tons of power, lots of features and now I am already making mods.

Just swapped out the stock orange clearance lights for the RECON smoked (nice that they came with orange bulbs to replace the stock clear) - they look awesome! Waiting on my smoked turn signals to arrive.

I also bought the Xtreme Scanning Tailgate Bar. I measured and it will fit, but WHOOPS, there's a bracket on the right side of the tailgate (between the tailgate and the bumper) that I missed. It apparently is a support bracket for the tailgate step.

Question is, what if I remove it? Will some unseen spring go BAM or is it just in case you overload the tailgate? Without removing it, the lightbar will not fit.
