It's not too difficult. Chase the threads in the frame holes you'll be using - they're probably dirty and corroded a bit. It'll make running the new bolts in a bit easier.
Also, a buddy to help lift and manhandle the sliders is nice. If you can't find someone to help, have some jack stands or, depending on the lift and tire height, a couple five gallon buckets to sit the sliders on to get them elevated and close to in position.

the ^ is good advise, take it. As you don't have KDSS the install should be very smooth. IIRC I had to move around my gas tank skid so if you have a trail that might need to be accounted for.
I installed them myself but I will admit it would have been much better/faster with 2 people but the passenger side w/o the KDSS still was easy and quick alone.

I suspended mine from the top of my carport with my NSI Garb Tie Down Straps, and had them resting on buckets too, was a manageable one man job.

I had to cut a little off the bottom of the rear slider bracket due to a weld on the bottom of my 4runner's frame that wouldn't let the slider sit flush against the frame.

No, by "chase" they mean use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Strai...&qid=1470451883&sr=8-2&keywords=m8+x+1.25+tap
I can't remember if this is the right size so check before you buy.
