I installed the 3" system on my car.As stated follow the 
directions.Start back to front.I put the stands under the frame to let 
the rear suspension hang a bit.Makes it easier to get the pipes over the 
axle.I also used some assembly lube the make thing a bit easier.I also 
had the pass side hanger welded instead of through-bolted.Also had to 
trim my pinion snubber,but I have a dana.All in all it went pretty well.
