The panhard bar mounting bolt at the panhard extension bracket is mounted in the top hole which is used for 5” coils. Since you have 3” coils it should be moved down to the lower hole which will make your panhard bar more level.

You may need a ratchet strap or a helper to pull the center the rear to get that bolt back in the bottom hole.

Thanks @Quick_Shifter - So, that's the drivers side and can see that the crush sleeve and bolt are in the original hole where the upper CA used to be - right? For the bolt that's under that original hole - did you have to drill that? And, on the passenger side where the e-brake mounts (inside on hte new mount - I think) did that hole have to be drilled out too? And, is that one long bolt or tow short ones? The instructions say to drill the holes to 7/16" but all of holes that I can imagine are already there and are already at 7/16". This is why I feel like something isn't making sense. Can you show a shot of the inside passenger side bracket? That would likely answer my questions about drilling.

So, did this hole shown here have to be drilled out? And, if so - is that 2 smaller bolts or one long bolt as it seems to me like that's 2 individual ones. Again, I haven't started the list but am trying to get a good picture of what we're going to be doing befre we get started.

Yes it’s 2 short bolts with nuts I don’t remember drilling those particular holes on the last one I did but there is no surgery involved if you do have to drill them.
