Spidertrax install

I am about to install Spidertrax spacers.In the directions it says to have someone press on the brakes to keep the hub from spinning when tightening the bolts.Has anyone here installed these by themselves by prying something on the brake pedal to keep it compressed?

 

I used a prybar between the studs and just torqued it down. Having someone else sounds alot easier though.

 

I installed mine by myself today as well and just put a piece wood on the brake pedal.

 

This is what I did. a 2x4 works great...

 

Thanks for the info gentlemen.I thought the 2X4 idea would work.I just didnt want get into the install and be stuck.I installed the back this morning and it looks awesome.I will post pics later.You really cant see it well in the photos,but it looks cool.

 

Spacers installed.The stance is cool.Now it needs to be lifted.

 

Sorry about the pictures being sideways.Does anyone know how to rotate them?I have had it happen before,I am not sure if a Moderator fixed them,but the photos were rotated.

 

What size spacers? I have considered these.
Would these prevent rubbing from larger wheels and tires without a lift?

 

They are 1.25. I believe they will stop on the suspension components but they will probably rub the wheel wells.

 

What size rims & tires you running?

 

They are 16" TRD rims with 265/60. They are what came on the truck when I bought it. I am gradually lifting it. I just ordered Boss coil overs. I am going to level it out then save up a little more and install Dakars.
