Anything out there that doesn't involve additional drilling?

I had to drill to install my Pfadt brace.

On the 10-early 11 you'll have to drill no matter what. The Hotchkis brace drills in the most inconspicuous places though.

We have a full how-to write up on our JDP Facebook page. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

How the heck do you get up in there? Do you have to remove springs and struts???

Mine had mounting points similar to the Hotchkiss. They installed with riv-nuts and everything was done from the top.

Dexman, really? No need to remove wheels springs etc? I'll have to look up install

You do have to remove the struts or at least pull them out of the way. Here is the How-to link so you can get an idea.
