Hopefully for the ones that want to go this route. The mods were pretty straight forward.
The 1" bolt had to be removed. I used a 1" Hilti concrete anchor. The smooth part was cut off and a heavy 1" washer was welded on. This needs to be done because the head of the 1" bolts sticks out too far and the bag will rub. You can try to find a 1" bolt carriage bolt. The 1" carriage bolts are out there but a PIA to get. I found 'em but the shop wanted me to buy 10 of them for $75....not for 2 bolts. Sorry I forgot to take a pic of the bolt.
A notch was cut in the top bracket to clear the B&W bracket.
The front u-bracket where the lower bracket rests on was milled so it can be level.
At this time, I did not get the on board air compressor. The air valves were installed in the rear fuel fill door. I have to get better caps.
My truck has 5" traction blocks with "F" code rear SD springs. Tires are Michelins LTX M/S2, 285/75-16.
