I installed these mirrors on my 98 Chev 3500 dually before embarking on a 3000 mile trip to pick up a toyhauler trailer. Installation was straight forward but awkward as the nuts are difficult to access with a standard socket or wrench. I wound up buying a ratcheting offset boxend wrench that made things a little easier. Be very sure to stuff a rag down into the void below where you remove the nuts or they will be lost forever if you drop them. I was concerned about vibration after reading other reviews however with the mirrors in it is hardly noticable and even with them extended vision is still very good...night and day difference between these and the slide on extension mirrors I had before. They didn't extend out as much as I was hoping, with an 8.5 ft wide toyhauler I can only see beside the trailer and nothing behind. They really only extend out about as much as the slide on extension mirrors I had previously however visibility is vastly improved. Due to the flat glass on both mirrors, the fish eye's that are included are essential, without them you can hide a semi-truck in the passenger side blind spot.

In short, they were a good purchase and make towing a much better experience. The price on Amazon was great compared to anything else I found.

These mirrors solved my trailer towing problem. I had experimented with the slide-on type towing mirrors but they scratched the paint on my factory mirror. I also tried the suction cup type mirrors but they were constantly falling off. The only thing that would make these mirrors perfect would be the enhanced mirrored glass on the passenger side mirror.

Mirrors worked great. They give me alot more rearview vision. They do seem to vibrate when they are extended.

The only complaint I have with the mirrors is they have a slight vibration when traveling down the road.

The installation of these mirrors was a challenge but was possible after acquiring the proper knuckle extensions for the ratchets used in the process. The left side mirror has a different range of motion than the right side mirror does. There also is no way to secure the right side mirror in a particular position, which is necessary to see around the sides of our stake truck. I don't know if I'm missing something here but the right side is useless unless I can get it to stay in a position in between the full and minimum stop positions. And I don't see any opportunity to adjust this range. Unfortunately, I'm not happy and am looking for a way to return the right side thinking it is defective for the reasons mentions above.

The mirrors are easily installed and are exactly as advertised. They were packaged well and arrive safely. They match perfectly to the OEM brackets. You can't beat this price.

my truck had factory mirrors that were not big enough to see around the camper with. bought these because they were big and extend out also the price was better tha i could find anywhere else.

These mirrors are perfect for towing. The large viewing area is great. One thing, both mirrors are flat glass (versus factory passenger mirrors being convex), which is great for backing up with a trailer, but terrible for viewing traffic on the passenger side. The spot mirrors that came with it are frankly too small. Luckily with all of the extra real estate these mirrors have, pretty much the largest round spot mirror you can find fits with plenty of room to still see around it (I put mine on the outside lower corners). Some people complained about these mirrors vibrating, but I have had no issues, though I will note the installation is a bear because of the way they installed on my Suburban. I could do the install with my ratcheting wrench with a zip tie on the end to pull up on, but it takes patience to get them fully tightened (I recommend cramming a plastic grocery bag down the hole to keep from loosing the nuts if you drop one). If you know anyone with inch wide hands, I recommend inviting them over for food/drink to help out.

Great product, well made too. But... They do not fold flat if something hits them. I have the motorized ones, and they just dont seem to go as low as the stock ones. I have a Dually, and I can not see the rear wheels. I wish they had an option to add the turn signal lights, as there is an area where they would go. Great rear view compared to the stock mirrors!

great mirrors easy to install they dont shake as you go down the road the only thing I would have liked to have the top of them not so rounded off but other then that great price the best I've found any where
