does the spring have an alignment hole drilled in the spring?

Yes - alignment hole is pre-drilled. Installation was about one of the easiest things I've done.

I am not sure what you mean, but suspect not. I just centered it above the axle.

No, it relies on the tension of the spring when you have it in the open position.

No not from Amazon or company that made this kit. This leaves you with two choices: send it back or order another one. I was told there is a company that makes these type of springs. Good luck. Sorry I could not be more help.

Yes, that hole is where in mounts into. Those tabs on the side are what take the place of the swivel.

Yes the entire length of the cover opens for installation. Springs shut and stays in place.

there is a hole but not threaded. I love mine and have two of them. One in our Tahoe and one on the Harley.

It does have a spring type clip for the locking feature to answer part of your question

I can't say 100% positive, but it looks like it is connected with a spring pin so I would say no, unless you can find out differently from the manufacture.

No it does not. I have a DCS and the hole pattern was differant so i had to redrill it myself. Wasn't much of a problem the metal is thin and if you can use a ruler and a drill you'll be done in no time.

Yes it does. I installed mine myself but had to have an alignment done. They gave me the specs for the alignment before and after and it showed it was needed after install.

Yes. My recollection is that I installed the screws into the plastic on the unit. I don't recall it having holes but it seems to me there was something that made it somewhat easy to see where to put the screws. It was easy and has been properly hanging for over a year now.

No, there are pegs that the top fits into and if you turned it straight they would not align.

i am glad you asked this. it was driving me nuts looking at the picture. I will have faith that there are indeed mounting holes in the correct locations :D

when you adjust the side to open up for the mounting plate, there are 2 springs that are on the side. They fall out often.

There is some side to side adjustment but not front to back, those holes are set. Hope this helps.

No, installing the spring can all be done by have except for tightening down the nuts

No, it is all supported across the bed with the pictured springs. The support is in the middle of the bed, and I never noticed it.
