Yes, you should have received brackets for the rear sway bar mount, part numbers 16000 and 16001. They're pretty substantial welded right angle pieces that fit under the forward LCA and toe arm bolts. Mine were on the original kit parts list, but initially backordered. They came several weeks later. Also you should have received 1/4 inch longer tow arm bolts 12384 in your rear sway bar parts bag because the regular bolts aren't quite long enough for the added thickness of the sway bar bracket. The LCA bolts are long enough as is. The added brackets are briefly mentioned in the IRS instructions, and also in the rear sway bar instructions. Here's a better picture showing the PS bracket and how it fits under the two bolts. Of course the same thing only reversed on the DS. I had it powder coated to match the chassis. Hope this answers your questions.
