My Quickjack is on back order and did not arrive in time for my install. I did the swap on jack stands. Honestly, I'm not too worried of only having a partial bracket. I think even without the bracket I don't think the DP would be going anywhere.

Did your Bracket hangers line up?

Haha I'm waiting for Costco to have it on sale again and I'll be buying one too. If it's not rattling I think you'll be fine without the bracket.
