Answer:

YesThe difference between the nominal and actual sizes in lumber derive from specifications and standards that only apply to that industry.
If the screws go through wood on the wall cabinet, counter sink the holes and use wood screws to get a flush surface and avoid splitting the woodIf the screws go through a metal surface on the cabinet, use a pan-head screw so you get a good surface contact between the screw head and the metal brace on the cabinetAs the previous posts suggested, it's critical that you hit the studs behind the drywall with your screws, so make sure they are long enough, about 1.5 inches into the stud, so use 2.5 inch screws if you have 1/2 inch cabinet brace and 1/2 inch drywallYour studs will be 16 on center, so when you find one, you'll have another that far awayTry to find a place inside your cabinet that allows you to place two screws 16 or 32 apartIf the cabinet is floor standing, 2 to 4 drywall screws are enough to hold it in placeIf it doesn't reach the floor and the cabinet is held up only by the screws, consider lag bolts instead of screws, or use more of themDrywall screws have a lower sheer strength than some other types of screwsIf your cabinet is heavy and has limited placement for screws, again, look at the lag bolt option or consider screws with better sheer strengthBut men and women all over this great land of ours have mounted all manner of items on wooden studs with drywall screws and only some of them have fallen down, so far:)
WS6 is the RPO Code for the Ram Air Performance and Handling PackageThe code will appear on the inside of the drivers door and on the build sheetIt includes the Ram Air Induction, specifically tuned suspension (revalved deCarbon shocks, larger sway bar), higher flowing dual outlet polished exhaust, power steering cooler, specific 17 aluminum high-polished wheels (RPO code QB6), and 275/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 speed-rated tires.
yes, metal has close tolerance then wood,I work with all type of metal everyday, it should be about ±.015
