Shaved door handles where to start?

[4DSEVEN]

Can anyone recommend a good kit and the steps / process, also what I need to buy to do this. I believe that I will also need door poppers? Are bear claws mandatory etc.?

Help is greatly appreciated.

A good kit will come with door poppers... IMO, they are a must a long with a remote hard wired button to pop it in case your remote dies. Usually mounted inside a wheel well or rocker panel.

Bear claws will allow the door to open up easier and latch alot better

There is a bolt in kit on the market that is a bolt on for the latches.

In MY opinion, forget the hardwired button. Install a hidden release cable. If the battery dies (and they always do eventually) a hard wired button won't help you.

Actually both are pretty handy to have. I wouldnt worry about the remote dying but the solenoids do go out eventually and truck batteries die. I drove a shaved truck for 2 years daily. I didnt have either swich or cable, I got pretty good at breaking in through the wing window though.

I was told that with the bear claw installed you don't need the door poppers. The claw kind of "kicks" the door open a bit for you to grab the door and open it. I installed the bear claw latches on mine and shaved the door handles. Right now I am in the middle of body work and have the doors off but opening the mechanism seemed to be fine without the poppers installed.

The kit came in today Justin.

Might have a few questions for the install when I get to it. Jeff was very good to deal with also.

Thanks for the GREAT service.
