The install is not too bad, I would say the hardest part was getting the supplied nuts up in the rear subframe as it is a very very tight fit up there. We removed the lower control arm from the subframe to help get a bit more room, but it was still difficult to hold the nut in place and thread in the bolt.

That is how it will sit on the rear subframe, the center holes on the mount will bolt right up to the diff, just support the diff, remove the 3 bolts, and bolt the brace up to the subframe/diff. The 2 outer most holes will include the hardware which go through factory holes in the subframe, but these are the tricky ones due the small space for access.

Hope this helps :)
Thanks,
Rick

Amazing! It essentially eliminated almost all movement from the rear diff, but it did add quite a bit of harshness for sure. I personally would not install this brace on my daily driver, and would go for the bushings, but for someone wanting that raw feel this would be the one to go with. :)
