If I run the front wheels up a set of ramps to the back of my pickup bed, will that be high enough to do the install? I figure there would be height and angle. Yes?
Be sure to strap down the ramps. My friends pinned into the hauler bed.

Yes, this method works very well and many use it. Just remember to strap the ramps to the truck, as mentioned. And I also recommend chalking or blocking the rear wheel. Overkill doesn't hurt.
In terms of the spacers, it was easy for me (not bragging). You push the screw in partly, then put the spacer on by back it up enough to get spacer positioned, then continue pushing the screw all the way thru.
I can't remember if it is the 10mm or the 13mm, but you will need two of them because otherwise the nut on the other side will spin. If I remember correctly, it was the shields near your foot that needs two wrenches. Personally I used a rachet and a wrench of the same size.
The kit does come with "super glue" if you want to set the spacers in place first.

Installed the BajaRon swaybar and links yesterday. I removed old links and installed new links with cycle on the ground. I had purchased a 5/16" dowel on the weekend, but my wife was away with the car, and that is where I left the dowel. There was no super glue in my kit, and my wife's e6000 glue had hardened up. I used a nylon zip tie to thread the upper link assembly through and was able to get the bolt through as I slowly pulled out the zip tie. Two 13 mm wrenches used for fasteners, one was a ratchet wrench.
Time for a ride later today.

Very pleased with the BajaRon swaybar. There is a number of country roads around here with twisties, and the bike clung to the curves better. I also took in on the highway. I used to slow down on one particular curve, and now, no need. I would have ridden longer this afternoon, but hot outside. Looking forward to getting out again!
I had a technical question, and Ron assisted me. I also called today about another technical matter, and spoke with Daniel, who also was of great help. Great company to do business with.
