Their coming in with zip wheels and saws if no one is around. In and out quick with a load.

Just installed yesterday. Was trickier than I hoped even with the front end lifted up onto jack stands. Re: hardware — it is indeed just allen screws and despite my best efforts I stripped one of the bolts halfway in. Seems like a terrible choice for hardware on bolts this long...and they're not even theft-resistant hardware like security torx (which I think would be less likely to strip as well). I'm going to have to find a way to get this bolt out and replace it with the stock one (if it's long enough to bite) or go to a hardware store and get an alt. Do not recommend this product with the current hardware solution.
