Default Spoiler removal

Hi all,
Long time Dodge owner and only recently bought the Ram Quad Cab Daytona used.
I was wondering how much of a pain is it to remove the spoiler so I can load my bikes into the back. All I see are the 2 bolt heads but I have a liner that impedes my veiw. Are there more than just the 2 bolts? Thanks for the help.

remove the one bolt on each side and slid it to the rear about two inchs and lift it up. you will also have to undo the safety strap form each pin

Just want to toss in a comment for the non-daytona owners, that have the new-fangled "spoiler" on their tailgates.
That little black spoiler/tailgate guard on the newer Rams is a GOOD THING.
It's amazing what a few dozen square inches of plastic does for aerodynamics and fuel economy.
Don't remove it!!!!
(I had my LineX guy take it off, go thin with the gun, then reinstall it.... it does make a difference.)

I would really like one of those tailgate spoiler/protectors for my truck. I would think that with that lip it would be alot easier to close the tailgate.

Does Dodge sell them?? or where can I get one??? and how much?????

Chip, I haven't found an online source yet, but if you call a local dealer, you can get the OEM part pretty reasonably... Shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can hook you up with my discount... if I can ...
