Are you installing in the car, or out of the car? I was considering this brace as well, but not sure how hard it is to get on with the tranny/rear still in the car.

I did it. It was fairly easy. I had to use several extensions and a universal adapter to get to the top bolts on the tranny front. I couldn't really get to the top passenger's side diff heim with any tools so I got it on with my hands and hand tightened the jam nut and used some red locktight. It hasn't come loose yet and all is torqued up properly. I might have gotten to it if I had dropped the carrier to the end of the bolts to give me another 1.5", but I felt the Red locktight would work fine and it has.
