When I got the rear end, I got the rear part of the driveshaft and the track bar but didn’t think to get the bracket. Glad to see someone else has done this also. My friend really likes the 3:54 versus the mid 4: ratio that the Eaton had. I think you’ll like it too.

I heated the Dana 60 bar right in the middle and bent it over so it lined up with the frame bracket, jacked the frame over about 3/8 inch toward the passengers side and put the bolt in. Lined up on the first try and the bolt slid right in.
