I just installed a Skyjacker 3" lift that included the relocation bracket. I had to get the instructions from their website (did'nt come with the kit). I would recommend adding a picture of your bracket to this thread if you can't find instructions on the manuf. website, I'm sure someone here has had some experience. My bracket was bolted to the origional trackbar mounting location with a new bolt through the existing hole, I then had to drill a second hole through the existing mount to install an additional bolt securing the relocation bracket. Pretty straight forward.

Stock nut has an attached tab that extends out the access hole.

It looks like the bracket is not positioned properly. Just loosen the main bolt and rotate the bracket counter-clockwise so the hole is in the right position.
