If you're not totally worthless, you can do it just fine. There's really nuthin to it. I have the same kit that I am fixin to install, but with the shock adapters. I'm frikkin cheap. I couldn't stand to throw away good shocks. Just follow the writeup already referenced to and you will be fine. You got all us here if you run up on a snag. I don't believe you will. Have fun.

There is none. I have the stock 16s on mine. I think the thing is you don't wanna wheel much with the stock wheels. Because of tighter clearances, stuffage will have some rubbing issues. If you just plan on driving it until you get your new wheels and tires (like I do) you'll be fine.
