This video will work fine for the 2008-2012 Spyder (all versions). But it isn't going to help you much for the 2013+ models. There is a fair amount of difference between the pre-2013's and the post 2013's.
There are very few tools needed for this install (on any year or model). And the tools needed are of the common variety. Nothing special.
All of the Sway Bar installs are relatively easy. However, with the 2013+ models, you do have to raise the front of the Spyder at least 18"~20". Very few jacks will get you this much lift. If you intend to use an ATV or similar jack the best approach is to lift the front of the Spyder as far as it will go, put jack stands (or ramps or similar) under the front suspension to hold it, let the jack down, add some cribbing on the top of the jack (2x4, or 4x4 wood blocks or similar), and lift again. A little time consuming but not difficult.
You do not need to lift the entire Spyder. In fact, you will need less lift if you just raise the front of the Spyder leaving the rear wheel on the ground. This also makes the Spyer more stable. And you do not need to lift the Spyder this high for the entire procedure. It only needs to be lifted this high for removing and installing the sway bar itself (which is a quick and easy step in the process).
Personally, I do not think it good customer service to refuse to install a sway bar just because the customer purchased it. The one I send the dealer will be identical (if not the same bar). But unfortunately, there are a few who insist on this.
On the other hand, it is not necessary to have a Spyder dealer do this install. Any decent mechanic that has the ability to lift the 2013+ Spyder models will be able to do this install easily. As I said, it's not that difficult.
