Default Glide-pro kit just arrived... install tips?

Just got my Glide-Pro kit for my 02 Road King, just wondering if anyone has some tips/suggestions for installing it. I don't have a lift table, so I'll be using a motorcycle jack.

Thanks.

***Please no negative comments about should have bought ___ brand stabilizer instead***

I did my glide pro install a few weeks ago but I have a 09 so install is different. It is a pretty straight forward install without the need for any tricks. I have my rear wheel off already so it was a bit easier and allowed me to take the swing arm off, clean up some stuff and install new battery cables (ground is a pain to get to unless your rear wheel is off). Watch the install video on the Glide Pro website, it is that easy.

When I installed mine in my 05 RK, I tapped in the new pivot shaft as old one was driven out. Took longer to remove stuff to do job than it did to install it. Don't hesitate to call them for advice they are very helpful.
