Default Trailmaster Installation!! Help!

So i picked up a set of Trailmaster SSV Dual Steering Stabilizers for my 82 f150. AutoAnything.com for 147.99+Free shipping. Very cool.
BUT! The instructions are awful... Has anyone done this to their f150?? Does anyone have better instructions or even pics of how it looks when completed???
I have no idea where to put the brackets. And I was doing research and Im hoping i got the right kit cause I saw another kit for a Mono Axle.
Kit 7325 is for f150 2wd and 4wd. Sounded the most universal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Its my day off today so im tryin to get her done
Thx yall
-Chris

So this model hooks the larger U bolt on the Frame about 15" behind the radiator, and the two smaller u bolts to the tie rod linkage. Its virtually invisible when looking at the truck which is kind of sad.. They sit parallel each other and are blocked from view by the frame. Very depressing. I was hoping to give her a tougher look. But either way it does indeed handle little better and when I hit bumps i dont have to fight the wheel.
Unfortunetly it didnt alleviate the entire problem. Guess I gotta adjust the steering column a little bit.
Oh well. Nothing wrong with a little added protection

My 87 has Rancho Dual Steering Stabilizers.

I've seen other dual stabilizers that are parallel or side by side also.

Hope this helps!
