Buy a bracket kit from Currie, Ballistic, RuffStuff, TnT, etc.
Yes the OEM D30 brackets can be cut off and reused....but that's a can of worms I'll never open again.

How is the easiest way to put the measurements and angles for the conversion to the full width 44 or do you know of a kit that is pre measured??

Or if you can afford it, just get a pre-made truss with everything on it.
