Installation is easy The only thing that sucks compared to other kits , is a 1/2" screw that you use to go through the hollow crossbar to hold the brace, doesn't have a long spacer to fit the screw into the crossbar. If you don't tighten it carefully it will simply buckle your crossbar as you tighten it as it is very thin. Other kits I've used in the past include this long spacer. I called FabTech to make sure it wasn't missing from my kit and they were like deer in headlights? Find out!
