Its a bracket to mount the rear brake line t-junction. I actually welded mine to the housing.

^^^ correct. that is the chassis to rearend brake hose adapter bracket. the jamb nut tied to the 3/8 hole will attach this part to the center section housing stud that is just over the axle tube on the drivers side.

on the lcas... good starting point is the second from bottom hole. need more tire hit go down... less go up.

we normally start the torque arm in the second hole from the bottom. if the pivot link only has two holes it is for the duals exhaust crossmember that goes above the pipes. the whole assy is higher in the tunnel than the other setups. definetly use the lowest hole on this one.
