I can't figure out how this kit mounts and to what. This looks more like a bracing system instead of plates that are weld on and around the frame itself?

Called John at autofab (great guy, lots of help) and found that this is a brace kit that goes from the cross member to the back of the frame and bolts go through the brace, through repaired frame and into two of the gearbox holes. He also said most cross members need to be removed because the rivets work loose and also contribute to the frame cracking at the box mounting. So look close at the cross member. I checked mine and found it had worked loose and had a gap someone threw a glob of weld at as a fix. He said to pull it off fix the holes and bolt it back in with grade 8 hardware. Thanks for all the info.
