Iam new to all this but just wondering how easy it is to install these?

If I can change a tire u can install spacers.

1. place the ebrake on
2. Jack up the vehical
3. Loosen and remove lug nuts
4. Remove tire
5. Place spacer on hub
6. Screw supplied lug nuts from the spacers on and torque to specs.
7. Put tire back on
8. Screw on lugs and torque to spec.
9. Lower jack
10. Retorque after 30 miles
11. Repeat for other sides

Make sure to check the torque on the spacer from time to time. They have been known to loosen up.

I just want to add, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE CHEAP PEPBOYS SPACERS THEY SELL THAT SPACE IT OUT 1/4 INCH. Ive seen some horrible things with those types of spacers. Now if you use spacers such as those from spidertrax then go for it IMO. Procedure for installing is real easy and as mentioned, if you can change a tire you can install spacers.

Spydertrax are the only ones I can recommend.
