I'll snap some pics tonight, I just installed mine last week. (5" total drop in the back: 4" Hotchkis leafs with a 1" beltch shackle) The brackets are installed just not the bar. They sent me a 30" bar and it ended up being to long.

i had to cut out and grind a section of the belltech hangers, for the brackets to swivel properly. they do work but only with sticky tires. and the 1.73 was on stock suspension. i think dirttrackracer has some pics of his.
