It mounts to the frame right by the rear cross member.

I had to redo my duals because they were in the way, but my duals were done wrong to begin with. We made them out of the pipes from the Flomaster cat back after I put the turbo in and made them fit best we could with what we had.

Sweet upgrade... I am wondering how much it would hurt the rear articulation with the bar on, have you had it off road yet? I think you should be able to make or find some quick disconnects for the rear if you felt it was needed.

I've had mine go thru some 20~24" drops and the rear just soaks it up. makes me want to get the quick disconnects for the front. You 2500/3500 guys should consider the mini leaf packs from Lorenz Industries... I put mine on back in June and have loved them off road. load carrying capablilities are not affected either. Yesterday we were coming out of a camping spot on an un-maintained dirt road and I took a peek at how much the rear end was working... all I can say is wow, it was popping up & down like there was no tomorrow, soaking up the bumps. very little got thru to the frame from the rear. the front's a different story, thus the need for the QD's on the sway.

Sorry, this thing is not made for off road use.

I don't do the off road thing, I do the street performance thing.

In the pics are a little of the spare and frame rails for reference. You can also see the spare tire crossmember.
