personal preference, really. Arm can be installed in your driveway with hand tools, instructions are a... 7 out of 10.
Bars are typically weld on

Arm is up over the drive shaft, bars hang down a little in front of the wheel. Queue @Nex who know more about the trac bars.

Bars are install and forget.
Arm should be lubed and check non-nylock nuts for loosening once in a while.
Arm with diff shield needs to be checked for possible shifting, which can mess up drive shaft seal in the pumpkin. It’s in the torque arm thread. I have the movement on my diff shield so until I get the gusset modified, no diff shield. still works great.

Give it a month to get used to how the truck feels, what you like and what you feel could be improved.

Then get some traction bars or a torque arm and wonder why it took you so long to make this simple, yet effective mod to the suspension.
Definitely going to look into that. I appreciate that.

WCE: Welcome, congrats, enjoy !!!

For a better ride, think to check pressure tire , lower than preconisation, some weight in the bed is also a must... And you will see, that OEM leaf spring has nothing exceptionnal...
