Well, I drilled all the holes and finished mounting the crossmember and the strut rod brackets. There's nothing really tricky to report; everything locates off of the crossmember so its important to have that in the right place before you start drilling all the other holes. There was one bolt hole on each strut rod mounting plate that sits halfway over an existing frame hole so I wasn't able to put that bolt in. I don't think the holes were supposed to line up since the existing frame hole is pretty big and wouldn't work to put the bolt though. The instructions also don't talk about using any existing frame holes so I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to line up but I'm going to call CE on Monday and ask them about it.
Other than that, the only advice I can offer is:
1. Make sure the frame top/bottom is 90 degrees to the sides
2. Buy some new, sharp drill bits before you start.
Now I plan to take it all back off, paint the parts and the frame, and put it all back together with grade 8 hardware.
