[QUOTE="khildebr, post: 1842986, member: 51701"] Well, [USER=57572]@SMIKE[/USER] was correct and my issue was two fold (not counting my stupidity). 1) While I was jacking the vehicle up by the frame, I was in the wrong location to accomplish what needed to be done. Jack in front of the rear suspension and not behind it :rolleyes:; 2) To paraphrase Chief Brody in Jaws: “You’re gonna need a bigger jack”. The one I had didn’t have the lift required to get the frame high enough to relieve all the available movement in the suspension (darn you Ford and your five link suspension and 15” of travel :)). After a trip to Harbor Freight and procurement of the last of the Yellow Jacks that they had in stock, life was a lot easier. So after getting the first guard in place and torquing the bolts to spec, the second one went on without any issues and with the right tools, was as easy as SwarfWorks says it is to install. Thanks for the advice and while I’m wiser from the experience, I’m probably still on the stupid side of things. Story of my life. :D [/QUOTE]
