I did my club cab's not too long ago. What I figured out worked best was having the passengers seat all the way back, the driver's seat forward all the way and then carefully working it out the passenger's door. And I had to take ALL of the trim pieces off, as I'm sure you did (Visors, pillar arch cover, etc.)

Find out how much it would cost to have it done professionally. It's a huge pain in the ***.

i did it with my dak(club cab), and my friend did it with his ram(reg cab) and he recarpeted it with sub box carpet, and 3M spray adhesive.. i agree it is a PITA, but.. i did it within an 90 min, including taking out all the paneling.

My cab is a regular cab and it was time consuming but I don’t think it was hard.

Getting all the old foam off can be hard in spots and you must be careful not to overdo it and thin the board too much same with the spray glue too much is a bad thing some corners can be a challenge to glue smoothly without puckering the material.

My header board was a kind of fiberglass/fiberboard combo weird


But it looks good

A shop charges about $130

When I'm fixing hail damaged cars we remove almost every headliner. We usually pay a flat fee of $100 R&I for headliners. The B pillars dont need to be removed all the way. Usually, remove one side of the vehicle, and just pop the tops loose of the opposite side pillars, and slide the liner out. This makes it easier going back in as the pillar trim is like extra hands helping you hold it up. slide it back in on one side then snap back the side which was completely out. WASH YOUR HANDS!
