There is only two pictures. I need to see more. For those who run this track bar, can u post some more pictures? Both on frame side and axle side.

And how exactly much of trimming on coil bucket is required?

Kris says I don't have to, and it's in fact better than oem design, it helped with the articulation. He also said it won't interfere with anything else.

I am running it along with FSTs crossover steering. Its no comparison to the stock crap, drives so much better. Only problem is on my low lift (2.5") the tie rod is close to the bottom of the frame bracket, so I can't have much up travel. Its super beefy.
I had to cut the sway bar mounts off along with the stock track bar bracket. I trimmed the coil bucket until it fit, not too much.

No instructions but it was fairly self explanatory. Just basically trimmed until the bracket fit
