I LOVE mine!!!
A bracket is mounted on the spring plate using the existing U bolt for securement, another bracket is bolted to the front spring hanger via new drilled holes. A bar goes between both brackets, thus creating less wheel hop and axle/spring 'twist'.
Mine have been on and off and on and off because of lifts, or axle swaps, etc....and i notice a huge difference every time i put them back on. When they are off, I can't even tell if i'm spinning the tires around a corner..they spin so easy. After the install.....sure there's some hop still...but not much. The only hop that's there is because i'm a manual and the torque i'm putting to the rear.

billy....i think we can make something work.....might need to get new squared end u bolts though.
honestly...i dont know what the difference is with the holes. i just mounted them in the holes everyone else does. lol. my 31spline brackets(above is the 28spline brackets) the 31 spline brackets have 3 holes.

I had no clue about this and glad I found this. I'm not doing any pre-runner style running but day to day driving here in Florida, you can imagine the speed bumps, bumper to bumper traffic and pot holes. It's immensely annoying to have your rear end feel like it's skipping itself like a rock on water from just a bump. Will that traction bar that states 1998 & up work for the last 2011 Ranger model? Was comparing my frame to the pictures I see here and see no difference. It sounds like all of you found immense pleasure with the difference. I'll be ordering mine here soon.
