Step 3. Install the frame brace bar with the fixed end into the driver side
bracket. The curve in the bar should go upward.
Step 4. Temporarily install the frame brace bar into the passenger side
L-bracket. Adjust the length of the bar so that the L-bracket fits
flush against the frame rail.
Step 5. Once you have made the adjustments to the bar and bracket,
verify that the bar is perpendicular to the frame. Using a marker
or scribe trace the outline of the bracket onto the frame. Mark a
reference line on the bracket and frame to align after grinding.
Step 6. Using a grinder or sander clean the outlined area marked on both
sides of the frame. Remove the brace bar from the bracket.
Remove the powder coating from the outer edges of the bracket.
Place the bracket against the frame and align the reference marks.
Weld the bracket to the frame around the entire perimeter of the
bracket. Once the bracket has been welded in place, clean the
area that was welded and coat with paint.
