It is important to get the brackets or have the link extended or the bar will be at a awkward angle. While you are at it be sure to check the rear bar bracket mounting bolts for proper torque. Many. Many reports of them being loose. Ours were loose in fact one nut was broken from the weld holding it in place. All bolts were not at proper torque. This with 9000 miles on the rig Use blue locktite on all bolts when tightening. On IRV2.com there is a very long thread about the CHF and also a thread about the loose SB bolts on the F-53 chassis.
