Just remember the old saying, "measure twice and cut once". but in my case it was more like measure half a dozen times cut once. it can be pretty scary ecspecially when the bit starts eating into your baby! just take it slow and two sets of eyes are better than one

Measure tons of times and have someone with you to measure. Use a marker if you don't have bed liner check angles and stuff. Also get underneath and make sure you don't hit anything while cutting the hole. Most stack kits are 4" from the elbow to flexpipe so don't cut a 5" hole unless your elbow is 5". Good luck. Aaron

depending on how close you want the stack to the bed rail will depend on if you drill the bed support too.
I drilled my bed support cause I think it looks better close to the bed rail
