Not too bad. I do recommend you get a half inch tap. I had little success with the self tapping bolts included.
And since I have an enclosed underbelly and no obvious place to attach the rear struts to the frame, I cut a piece of 2"x2" sq tube at 45 degrees on each end the width from the outer flange of the I beam on one side to outer edge on the other side. Drilled two clearance holes in each end and two matching bolt holes in the frame on each side, and bolted the sq tube to the frame. That provided an easy place to attach the rear struts at the rear center.
She (and you) will be very happy with them.
