The process is rather straight forward as long as you have fabricating abilities and equipment. You would start by installing your engine and trans in your truck using the Hooker engine mounting brackets and then jack up the rear of the transmission high enough to allow you to position the Hooker crossmember under the mount of the 6L80 trans. You would next adjust the height of the rear of the trans up or down until you achieve U-joint working angles that are optimized for your trucks' ride height/suspension configuration. Once that is achieved, you then need to design an adapter bracket that will connect the trans mount to the crossmember. If the crossmember crossbar is too high and leaves too little room for the design of such a piece, then you would just move the crossmember back about 4" and purchase/use the Hooker T56 crossmember cantilever bracket with the crossmember to provide a lower mounting surface height to build to.
