Just check that the bolt in plates are large enough. NHRA has a set size the plates need to be if not welded to the frame.

When we installed my cage even the NHRA approved size plates didn't give allot of room to weld the bar to them and didn't seem to provide much support, so we went larger. The swing outs flexed the floor boards, so we built extra bracing as well. Make sure you position the side bars and test closing the door as the side bar will be up against the door panel arm rest

For the side bars, the bar has to pass between your shoulder and elbow. I don't know about the Wolf, but some of the "street bars" set the side bar runs low and is not NHRA legal.

Also, BE CAREFUL welding in the base of the main hoop on the driver side, the plastic fuel lies run below where you are welding. Have been a few cases of people burning their cars to the ground!
