Installation questionable

Took 7 hours to fully install and clean. It is necessary to drill holes in the frame and remove the rear fifth wheel mounting bolts as the plate is fixed in this position. I don't like the fact that the additional installation consists of removing the overload spring and adding a spacer and longer U-bolts around the springs. Install the bottom bracket according to the instructions using the short overload spring U-set screws. My F350 CC is from 1999 so it took longer to fit than a new truck. The box was torn on delivery and I was afraid it was all in a very damaged box. There were short washers etc but couldn't use a large flat surface as the front top mounting holes had to be on the flat part of the frame so had to use the bottom 2 bolt locations and slide the brackets all the way forward onto the springs. The drilled holes and screws were not spaced far enough apart to use the larger washers provided. Tomorrow I'll pull a smaller load and see how they work
