When installing thunderforms did anyone cut off the studs that mounted the factory tray or did you leave them there? It seem's to fit ok with the studs there but I was wondering if it would vibrate if they were left in.

 

I think most people just cut off the studs. I mounted my Thunderform on a sheet of plywood that was drilled with holes to match the CD changer bolts. This way I can return the truck to stock if I want, and it gives more sound insulation under the subs.

 

I left my studs there. Seems to work just fine, no vibrations. If anything, I would do like LOCOSVT and make some kind of base to match the studs. I just can't imagine cutting on my truck
