You can do it yes and it's not hard. Two inches max. Crawl under there and tighten them the same amount on both sides. Get an alignment after.

Do you have any four wheel drive shops in your area? I paid a local one in my area to do mine just to make sure it was even/correct and the did the allignment all for $70. You'll notice it to be alittle bit of a stiffer ride. Worth it to me.

If you can fit under the truck without it I would recomend not to use them. Also don't forget to get an alignment asap when your done so the tires don't get chopped up.
