Hi TeriAnn,
I installed just the front ADDCO bar a little while ago, I'll try to help-
#1- The plates for the top of the lower wishbone on my kit had holes that
were centered, are you sure they aren't from the back? Well, they may have
changed them over the years. It will give you more options for aligning
everything. My bar was a tad long, so you may want to start by having the
diaganols go to the ouside. If the bar doesn't line up so the downlinks are
straight, reverse one or both.
#2. I can't compare lengths of front and back. but the front does have a
spacer, so I guess that is the long one.
