It's not hard at all. I went with the 2 + 2. Just make sure you get the axle nut as tight as possible. Mine keeps loosening up.

 

I put the eliminator 2+2 (really +3 or +5) on a couple of weeks ago, the install was easy, the problem I had was no instructions came with it, I had to go online www.durablue.com to get intructions. the first line is note the order of all the parts before taking them off for prior to installation (oops). still all in all it took about an hour, the axle lock nut is improved over the ones they had 5 weeks ago, we installed an X-33 on a friend of mines which has the old locknut, it came loose the first ride out. I have about 6hours on mine and it is much improved, doesnt come loose at all

 

just installed my axle. it went good took about 40 min from start to finish. hopefully i will never have to change it again! i used lock-tite so it better not come lose!! i measured the outside tire dim and it now sits at 48 in. just bearly fits in my 97 f-150 flareside..

UPS dropped off my X-33 at work, I went home and installed it on my lunch break. About 1 hour. It was easy.
I think if you don't use a pipe wrench on the axle nuts, they will stay tight for you. I use some Jumbo open end adjustable (Crescent) wrenches. My axle nuts NEVER come loose on any of my ATV's.

Don't over tighten the first nut and deform parts in the housing, which may cause a nut loosening problem.
