heh, I was sitting there thinking "RCB...Remote Control Bearing? Radial Counter Balance?"
I did my relocation brackets myself too. Mine were BMR (gone now that I have a 12-bolt), so I followed these instructions:

It probably took me about an hour or so to install the relocation brackets. Lower control arms were maybe 45 minutes.

I did mine with a buddy, considering I had 0 experience with suspension and he had done a 4" lift by himself on his truck in his driveway. You can easily do it yourself though. GO to www.InstallUniversity.com I used their site for some good advice. Good luck!

I used a dremel to cut off the bracket where it wraps around on the inside (the L shaped portion closest to the differential), then painted the exposed metal. The emergency brake seems to work fine.
The only other thing you could do is to drill a hole close to the edge of the brackets where you cut them off, then drill and tap a hole in the metal plate behind it (on the rearend assembly) so you can bolt it to that mounting area to keep it from sliding around.
