Jimzpsd, Yes did the install myself and I am referring to track bar relocation bracket (same Ready Lift bracket as 2016 model year). Pretty easy install. Very frustrating though because the people I purchased the kit from (Stage 3) said I needed nothing else. But when I called to inform them of the axle shift to the driver's side, they had no idea it happened on their own project truck until I called. Nobody seems to know anything about these trucks yet.

Quick question for those who are installing the trac bar drop brackets. Doesn't the track bar nut have to be torqued to something like 400 lb ft? How are you doing this? Do you have shops that have this equipment or are you using a torque multiplier?

the actual track bar bolt is 406 ft/lb. my torque wrench only goes to 250. I used that, then a breaker bar as tight as I could possibly go (doing a leg press on it
)I have no idea what the actual torque is, but I am guessing it is sufficient

The torque i believe is 406ftlbs i would have to look at the sheet again. I have a torque wrench for that size so it was not an issue for me. If you don't have one i would seek out someone or a shop that does have one to have that bolt torqued. Other than that its easy to install.

That's what I thought. I have a 5 to 1 multiplier in my toolbox that I've never used. It's about time.
