Hey guys, I have a 2008 reg cab/long bed currently with stock F350 rear suspension. I'm looking to add PMF traction bars and use the block type mount to also add 2" of lift in the rear. I'm looking to use the bolt on style brackets for the frame and I'm looking to find out where on the frame they will land? I have a custom LP fuel system on the driver side frame rail that I'm concerned might get in the way of the frame bracket. Does anyone have any pics/info/measurements on where the brackets would be bolted to the frame. I'd hate to just order these then once they come in realize I have some stuff in the way and need to reinvent the wheel to make everything work. Thanks.

No matter what truck you have, rule of thumb is the frame mount should be positioned at the same point as where your u-joint is at just behind the tailshaft.
Awesome man, shoot me a message when you got some pics and I can give you my cell number if it's easier for you to text them to me.
Ok, so if I'm understanding you correctly I can look under the truck from the side, and where the u-joint is on the drive shaft, just behind the t-case that is where the frame mount will be located on the frame?

Yes. That takes away any type of possible suspension binding if your going to use the simple straight bars as it moves right along the same pitch as the DS.

Yes, I plan on just getting the stage 3 bars with gussets from trevor. Thanks for the info, I can actually figure out now if I have to move anything on the driver side frame rail or not. If memory serves me correct I should be all set, but I'll have to stop, drop and roll under tomm and double check
