No, just the brace. Note in the pic below that the brace just butts up to the rear bracket. They include a spacer with the brace, but you won't need it on the SPF rear end. Simple swap...unbolt existing bolts and bolt in the brace. Coaxing the thru-bolts on the rear bracket did take some manuevering of the pumpkin to get it all aligned perfectly...it's a very tight fit on my car (those two large bolts, that is).
Here's a shot of another mod that I performed prior. I was having clearance issues with the driver's side half shaft bottoming out on the frame. I'd get grease everywhere and would have to pull the half-shaft to fix the inner CV boot. Someone on SCOF gave me the idea (probably RT) of drilling new holes to effectively "raise" the differential in the frame. I measured carefully (see awe marks still on the bracket) and took it to a neighbor that had access to a machine shop with a drill press. Worked like a charm and ended up providing another 3/8" to 1/2" clearance that I needed.
