Will this fit my Fleetside bed or only Styleside?

This is designed for Fleetside bed configuration only. Styleside trucks require a different bumper cover. Confirm your bed type before ordering.

Do I need to remove the tailgate to install this?

Mounting method not specified — test-fit the cover before committing. Most rear bumper covers on this generation mount independently of the tailgate, but verify clearance on your truck first.

Does the chrome finish scratch easily during installation?

Handle by the edges during unpacking and mounting to avoid finger marks and scuffs. Chrome is durable once seated, but take care during the swap to keep the finish clean.
