Yes you perfectly answered it thank you.

More mess with the TCI link. However I've made progress. They sent new frame brackets (the kit included 2 passenger side frame brackets.....). I went out and bought hardware to attach frame brackets to the frame (no that wasn't included for some reason). So after drilling that out, they're on. Last night i cut off the old axle brackets and this morning I'm taking the axle over to my friend's shop who is a welder to get the new ones back on. I'm hoping to have it all together in the next few days. I'll do a full post update on how to install the kit once I'm finished. I should've given up a while ago, but I'm stubborn...
