Hi, has anyone installed a parking/back-up sensor on their rig? The rear bumper doesn't seem to have the "ideal" spots to mount sensors. Any experience with these puppies?:help2:

I had a set mounted on my last truck. Mounted them on the corners of the step near the hitch. They worked pretty well there.

I have a set of four sensors mounted under my 3500 4X4 Dually bumper, they work very well, make sure there is a way of turning them off when you are towing something. Mine is a GM factory system modified to fit any truck, it's nice that the defeat button matches the rest of the dash buttons.

I puchased the kit from www.jpcustoms.com (http://www.jpcustoms.com) but I see they no longer carry them. You can now purchase much less expensive ones. I paid around $330 for mine. Probably any kit would work fine, just make sure you have an easy way of disabling it for towing.
