the right way locks the front wheels in while on the brake, when foot is removed to use clutch only the front brakes remain locked in

the "wrong" way is backwards on the rear only, this locks the front brakes when pedal is applied and keep fluid from getting to the rear

good for automatics or side steppers

There is not really a right or wrong way. They are designed to be installed either way. It depends if you have an auto or manual.

I just would like to know if it can install on the front with out problems because my foot is broken and I would like to go try out the truck this weekend. It may be a little hard to power break with one foot

You could just heel and toe it the old school way (or stick shift way for those of us that have them), the right foot's heel is on the brake and the toes are on the gas....kinda hard with the larger brake pedal on an auto but still doable

I may consider a backward install if I can not do it the way I want.
