Ok so I just got them installed and this is my experience. These were the aluminum front and rear.

First, man the clearances for the holes are super tight so it took a lot of wrangling to get them all on and bolt holes lined up. Had to use the bolts themsleves and a ratchet to bring everything together.

You definitely need to run a M8x1.25 tap into the bolt hole for rear crossmember because the factory paint in the threads will not allow you to thread in the bolts.

The instructions need to be updated with a few things. I also found that I had to remove the factory braces ant the rear crossmember, that was not in the instructions at all.

Also, I was missing several of the 3/8-16 nuts so I had to run to the hardware store.

You can see in one pic below that my URD Y-pipe just barely clears by 1/4" I think the factory Y-pipe would hit it for sure!
