I bought and installed one from Stillen. It went on pretty easy but I also found that the dampner was in the way. What I did was simply moved the cooler over towards the center a few inches and drilled one new mounting hole. The cooler comes with a nice bracket that mounts using two exsisting factory bolts. But mounted as shown the cooler hits the dampner, so moving it towards the cenetr a bit worked well with a very min. of changes.using the holes already on the cooler bracket, move it over so the furthest hole on the left as you are looking at it, goes to the hole to the right of it, then drill another hole to take care of the hole furthest to the right(ceneter of grill opening). Install and mount the hoese. Also make sure the hose s are already hooked to the cooler of youll have a tuff time getting them tight. Also when mounting ANY of the coolers sold, if they use the stainless bradied lines, Make sure you put a rubber cover over the lines any place they might rub on the body or suspension parts. If not, 2 things can happen, 1st the will rub through and when they touch they end up making a high piched noise due to the metal covering. I simply used pcs. of heater hose, took short pcs. slit them long wise, put it over the hose and used zip ties to hold them in place. You dont want an oil leak!!!
