Carson tune chrome stb installed!
Ok this is what i found out about it. First the whole bar goes on smooth, now heres the problem that i stumpled on. I wasn't sure if i was suppose to use the spacer or not, but i took the spacer out to test fit, did that ran in to another problem. The hole on the stb that goes over the suspenion mount is too small, and carson would need to widen it out alittle to fit rite. Then another thing accured to me is that if they was to widen it out it fits fine then there is one more issue the stb bar would touch the engine cover because it would be too low.
Next i tried it with the spacer on, and it looks decent but the the lip that sicks out between the spacer is alittle bit higher then the spacer. Anyways i'm thinkin this is probably the only alterntive way to have the stb on so i did it like that till carson can fine a fix on this.
This is on the left side at my view.

Also if they wanted it use to use the stb without the spacers they would have to raise the bar up to the tip of the brackets in order to clear the engine cover. Hey carson i'm waiting on my new STB please, waiting sucks.
