I installed this on a 78 F250 4x4 after a 4" hub. After disconnecting the old OEM tension member, this tension member went right in. It comes with instructions. , make sure you read them. Getting everything straight and then tightening the locknuts is a bit tricky. I used Locktite on the threads and after 1000 miles it's still holding up. Tighten the locknuts very well otherwise it's a well made connection and strong enough for my 33" tires and front storage. Can be lubricated for long wear. I recommend this product.
