Hello Cole, You will have to drill two holes in the frame rail and lope your u-bolt throgh the frame and then attach your mounting hardware to that. You might be able to get some instuctions off of Hotchkis web site. If you cant find anything I can take some pics of mine when I get home.

Talked to Hotchkis and they said the same thing. I got my swaybar second hand with no directions.

They also mention a (part# 1415 $220.) which is a bar that attaches to it now. I guess the floor deal was axed for this bar. And supposedly so was the engineer that spec'd it to be through the floor.

Yes, the crossbar is the way to go. They stopped using the floor braces awhile ago, there is the benefit of the crossbar adding rigidity back there too!
