Very easy the main thing I did was replace the bolts one at a time and threaded them so they barely came through except for one which I threaded all the way in. Then I went to the opposite side and held the bar up on that bolt and screwed the others in.

Yes The bolts provided are longer and thread through the stock threads and the bar is held on by 4 Nylock nuts

Adjusted the rear shocks today. They have 36 adjustment Dampening so I set them right at 18 as a starting point. Ride feeds good so far. Im going to set the fronts the same way.

I took my shock adjustment all the way in 36 clicks and backed them out 18 clicks which is halfway as a starting point. It took a couple adjustments on the springs to get them where I wanted them
