You need to loosen the bolts on the bracket that the X-brace bolts into. This allows the "holes" to shift a bit and makes for lining them up easier. Once you get the X-brace bolts installed hand tight, then torque down the bracket bolts you loosened before torquing down the X-brace bolts.

yeah my comptech didnt line up either - took a while but it got there in the end!

I was beginning to think it wasnt compatible with my 04.

btw...is it true that both the spoon and comptech rear lower tie bars dont fit the 04???

I went to the comptech website and they only list it for an 00-03, and I nearly bought a spoon bar from someone until they told me they are selling because it didnt fit their 04.

thoughts? thanks!
