Its pretty straight forward. It took longer to clean everything up than it did to swap it all out.

I figured it would be straight forward...what size tank do you have?

In theory, none. But several have reported missing parts (including myself).

I got one of the first production batch... I was missing ball joint dust covers, washers and nuts for the cross shafts (still don't have these after a year of asking), lower shock mount hardware, and hardware for the upper plates I bought at the same time. See my ART review comments on the Reviews board. It was my first bad experience with ART after a VERY long relationship... and I had to "debate" with them to get even minimal responsiveness from them, and there are still open issues. It was my last purchase from ART... ever. :buh:

Sounds like you're in better shape to start than I was.

I here this complaint a lot about ART. The product is very good but it seldom comes with all the parts needed to install it. Always missing something of importance that holds up the install or you have to go buy it localy. if you do have to ask them to send parts it take for ever to get it.

I can see how a box less than half the size and 50# too light might be easy to miss :crazy:
