It bolts to the two front swaybar bushing locations on the frame rails. Find your front swaybar, locate the two bushings, and you're in business.

Yep. Un-bolt the 4 bolts holding the front sway bar retaining brackets with a 15mm socket or wrench. Move the sway bar down out of the way, slip in the Steering Brace (aka Wonder bar). Push the sway bar back up and re-install the bolts. Torque to 37 ft-lbs. If anyone needs one, I have brand new Steering Braces of my own design in stock. MIG welded and powder-coated. Lon
