Mike, great job!

I recommend that if you haven't already done so, create sufficient clearance between the brake line and brace, so there is no possibility of rub-through...





I also recommend that you replace the front, short bracket lower attaching bolts with Grade 8 flange bolts and torque prevailing Grade 8 flange nuts...



Looking forward to your completed write up.

One thing to note...if you have an oil cooler, you will want to clearance the bottom flange of the large brace, where the oil cooler lines come through the crossmember.  there is heavy interference with the oil cooler lines.  I made a write-up about it and sent it to ORD, from where I got my brace kit, but never heard anything back as far as improvements to the product.
