Will, you can install Opies kit without removing anything. It is tight but you can do it. Took me less than a hour in my driveway (not shop) to install it. Tim

I ask cause I am about to install twins and was wonderin how much harder having twins would make the intall.

Thanks

No I did not. The only thing that the twins really make any harder is getting to the plug in the head. You'll want to make sure the truck is cold, though...

What are the advantages going with one kit over another though? I am needing one shortly and would be interested in more info?

I belive Lazar's kit has been revised from the one on his website. I think his is a heater grid delete too.
