I can't comment on ride or anything, but I installed spring spacers on the front of my 700, and It was pretty simple, you have to take off the front box, but thats not too big of a deal I used ratchet straps to compress the springs, you have to use the tiny ones, otherwise you can't ratchet them down, ideally you should have a spring compressor, which I saw in a recent post was about $50, but it's not totally necessary

good luck with the install

I did my fronts without any spring compressors..You don't need them for the fronts........I'll be doing my rears very shortly and you will need compressors for the rears...
