Then what I did is place the bar on my chest with all the hardware to install in on the front brackets.
I layed the ends on the "LCA". Then I put one flat washer between the C-bracket and the Frame bracket. then the hard part comes. holding the bar and trying to place the cut washer and nut on the bolt! lol Again, do it loose. The first bolt is the hardest. Everything else is easy.

This is the passenger side:

Driver Side:

Now its time to tie up the "loose ends". lol
I took one flat washer for each hole on the "LAC".
Then I took a bolt and put it through the hole and put a flat washer and one split washer on each nut. and tighted to "hand tight". do that of course on all the other bolts.

Passenger side:

Driver Side:

Now that everything should be bolted down and looking Good. Tighten them all down!
I started with the brackets that go to the frame. Then I worked from the front to back.

End Shots!
