the rear chassis mounted bar took about 2 hours to install. You have to remove the shocks and coil springs and lower the housing down a lot to drill the necessary holes in the frame to get this done. It was very easy. I took my time and made sure everything was done right. If you had a buddy to help and a 2 post lift this would be a 1 hour job.

Heres the bar by itself...



After pulling the shocks and springs, you have to enlarge the original muffler hanger holes to 13/32. Thats where the brackets are mounted.



Heres the bracket...



You use the bracket as a template, set the bracket straight up and down and drill the second hole, making sure theres nothing like brake lines or gas lines behind it obviously...



Install the bracket and repeat on the other side...





Next you have to make up your end links. Lube and press the rubbers inside the link, then lube and tap the bushings in with a hammer, screw them together with the nut in between....





Hang the links..



Lube up these bushings and stick them on the new bar...





Then put it all together using the U bolts, mount pertches, and u straps that hold the bushings in. You have to make sure you go under the brake lines. I know that seems like common sense but i'm sure someone has clamped their brake lines before....
