Axle pivot brackets

Does any one have any tips or instructions on how to install these "easy to bolt on" brackets for the front end of my 91 F150 4x4? The instructions that came with them are photocopied and barely readable.

Lift kit. You have to lower the back end of the radius arm to maintain caster adjustment. Means replacing the radius arm mounting bracket.
You can probably download the instructions off the manufacturer's web site

The factory axle pivot brackets and radius arm brackets are riveted on to the frame so you will need to torch, grind, or drill out the rivets. It's pretty straight forward, sometimes it is difficult to get the nut off the radius arm, depending on how rusty the truck is you will need a big piece of pipe to put on the end of your breaker bar for extra leverage.
