Just for our reading pleasure here are the instructions....Just me but I'd definitely use all the tabs provided and I'd also prefer mine to be all on the axle tubes. I also like trumps front mounts on the upper bars. That looks good. And another one of my crazy thoughts would be that unless I just had to, there's no way I'd shorten the bars. Just my thoughts though.

My original plan was a ford 9" I picked up but it turned out to be from a van so it was wayyyy to wide. Back at square one I deiced I will be happier with a explorer 8.8 which a friend of mine has one for $250.00 so I'm going to pick that up and go that route!

Trey i read with mine that the short arms still need to be at least 70% of the longer bars just as a rule of thumb but looking at Gicknordons im going to have to make new brackets and lower the front of the longer arms to a more parallel position as in waynes instruction pictures
