No pics,but on the 2008 I mount them tight to the spring slider, as low as possible.

Lose the front idlers and bolt them in there. You have to enlarge those holes and drill new holes for the "dead" end of the scratcher. I drilled my even with the bolt hole(horizontely) but you can drill it higher to increase pressure at the working end of the scratcher, however it works great drilled evenly.

Drilled new holes for mine as well. But I left the Idler wheels on. no matter how you do it you want them to be as far forward on the skid as possible.

Nice job on the rails. I saw that a few weeks back.
