Wow from the factory they came with the clamps instead of pre driiled holes wonder why they did that? Well it is good to know I did not get a generic version of them they came from the factorey shelf straight to me with the ford stickerks and all that on the connetors. Lol thats cray lay ass Ford desingers or maybe their is a reason beyond my comprehension Idk. What did you tork yours to I was thinking maybe 30-50 ft-lbs? Also how do you get it when you do a post to have that line that says what you run and what you have?

Go into your account control panel and fill in your "signature" and it should default to post it whenever you reply, as you see mine below.

Well thanks anyway especially for awnsering the actuall question. But did your rears need allitle push to make contatc/flush with the rear frame rails, the fronts bolt in good and are flush but the rears seem like I might have to take a jack to them to mount flush there is about a 2-3in. gap till they meet the rails. Or they just did not bend them enough at the factoey because I am pretty sure my frame is not bent lol. I have flipped them both ways just to make sure they were nnot upside down did you have this problem? I have heard some say with the full length bbk's they had to use a jack to get them where they wanted them. I do not mean on the car but the connectors I know all the wheels need to have the full weight on them and be on a level surface. Hmm................................................... or maybe it is my springs making the difference?

Not a problem...

Mine did not line up flush either. I recall bolting them in from the rear first, but I'd imagine you can do it either way. There is only one side that "should" be facing up (the end with the larger, square openings should be facing down so you can get the bolts in there and tightened). Make sure they are facing the correct direction as well.

Yeah I was kind of surprised to see the clamps also. At first I thought my car wasn't drilled for them since they sit so far back in the rear and I didn't realize that's where the clips slid into.

I torqued them nice and tight, no need to use a torque wrench on them.
