Brad, sorry I haven't responded as I didn't notice this thread had any action. Although I don't remember where the pinion is set as we did it last year.

The square ends on the x member were too big to let it fit up into the stock mount. The stock mount is curved and the x member pushed against the curved part before it was in far enough to put the blots in. Drivers side only.
Had to put a 45 deg angle on the sharp edges of the x member.

And these brackets have a story of their own. The drilling was killing me! And also on the drivers side, the brake lines passed where one of the bolts would go through.
And they wouldn't fit snuggly over the frame either, so I had to hammer them in.I ended up using 3 out of 4 bolts on both sides, and welded the entire bracket to the frame.
Well, lots of unnecessary thinking and modifications, but after all I'm very pleased with my RE kit!

Yeah, i'm pleased with the way it turned out as well. But they could have made it a whole lot easier.

Did any of you guys have to cut the threads on the adjustable ends of the control arms?
Mine won't give me enough adjustment to align everything correctly.
I think I may have a 4 door kit?!
