3 holes per side in the frame, the mounts in the rear go through the u bolts. You need about 2" longer u bolts but I got lucky because I ordered long ones when I did my lift

I still love these bars and Miles at flight fab is a great guy. He's making me a few other random things to. Not gonna lie appearance mattered to me with these and they look way better than everything else in the market

Basically the u bolts go through this plate which sits underneath the axle, and the trac bars mount to the tabs on the bottom. Ill try to get a better pic soon

I see how it bolts on now. I thought your U-bolts were upside down for a while.

Also for those with 05+ Super Dutys, Flight Fabrications has their first front four link setup out...looks awesome. I think hes looking for more people who would like to test it

I have been thinking more and more about that 4-link setup. He should make a bracket that can be bolted down with the stock u-bolts on the 99-04 super duty's that has a 4-link and coil over mount on it, and if its possible to maintina the factory sway bar even better...but i kinda doubt that is possible. I would test that out in a heart beat though! I would just like to keep the current height instead of lifting it more so like a 2.5" kit would be perfect for me lol.
