Install's pretty quick, just pop the spacers in and you're good to go. But like SilverBullet said, you'll want to buy longer shocks to replace the factory ones up front. Pic in my sig of mine (leveled w/ 33" tires).

Actually, it depends on the year. For 06 and up aftermarket shocks are suggested but should be bought at the same length as the stockers. Doing mine any day now....lol.

i have a 2006 with a 2.5 inch steel top gun customz spacer. i love it. i didnt need new shocks at all. but mines a 06+ i dont know much about the 02-05 other than they have torsion bars in which you can crank for free, grab some new shocks to make ride less stiff and your good to go.
