hopefully i can figure it out when it gets here. i still dont really understand how this is gonna work, but as long as it does i dont care!

It takes weight of hinges and puts the wight on the clasp where it should be..makes it alot tighter..and absolutely zero issues afterwards..it will get easier to turn handle after a while though

I had the issue earlier this year (like May) and they sent me a whole new setup...

And I got it all on now. Hopefully it'll hold that 35 and not rattle open anymore. They sent a new pin and bracket. I don't know if the pin was needed, but they sent it so I changed em out. It's harder to shut now, gotta use both hands and lift a little on the swing, but it's much tighter when latched so I will be happy as long as it stays shut! Thanks again fellas

Bump, just installed mine and it seems to have quoted down a bit, but i still have some clunking over bumps. My shocks have been on for 22k miles and I need to change them, maybe that's what's clunking? Anyone still have clunk after installing the part? Mine only had the latch no new pin

after a couple months mine was bumping the tub on the passenger side...tightened the 4 bolts through the frame again and it stopped. that'd be where i looked first. and that $20 bracket that smitty sent me has stopped any looseness i had with the latch. i think the way it's designed, it's inevitable it'll become loose over time with wear.
