Which size bear claw latches for AD truck works best? I have done a search and in other places and some use small and some use large. Don't know if there is a differece with different manufactures. I know Alan Horvath either just put some in or is the process so I thought I would ask.

I'm having the SMALL ones put in ... from what I learned the large ones take up too much space inside the door.

I can't WAIT to enjoy the difference these are gonna make!!
