This had the best instructions I have ever seen a company produce on how to assemble. It was an easy assembly, as well. Nothing complicating, in which I think anyone could handle. The actual rack is very nice! Not a scuff anywhere on it from being shipped and banging around. Which brings me to my next point, it was very well packed! Once all put together, and installed. You can grab a firm hold of the rack, and shake the **** out of it, and there is next to nothing for flexion. The rack seems to be structurally stout! The only minor issue I had during assembly was threading the screws into some of the pieces. The machining has a very tight tolerance. So, putting the screw in one way, almost didn't seem it wanted to go, and would start cross threading. So, I sent it all the way through from the back side, first. And it would blow through whatever was preventing it from starting on the other side. Then it was good to go. Otherwise, it was a flawless assembly, and I high recommend this rack!
I purchased a Decked drawer system and forged Leitner rack and accessories from Truck Brigade after a very helpful discussion with TJ. I did the install solo and it went pretty well. The decked system was the easier of the two FWIW. Several of the accessories had missing parts and the instruction manual for the rack was for the original, not forged version but TB sent out the missing parts quickly and I was able to find the correct instruction manual online. If you can rope a buddy in for a few hours for the rack, it would speed things up but overall, pretty straightforward install. I haven't fully loaded them up yet but I'm pretty impressed by the rigidity of both the Leitner and Decked systems under body weight. I love the decked boxes.
Truck Brigade was great, not sure about the product.
