So I ended up buying Powderhounds. Anything I should know when installing these? Towing in ski's or any other tips when putting these on? I'm sure it's not as easy as just slapping them on and tightening the nuts. Thanks

As long as your toe out is fine it is that easy!
Enjoy them, they're a wicked ski compared to the stock trail crap.

Toe out and shim the rubber if needed.

Is towing out easy to do? I admit, you have to dumb it down with me...

Take an 8-10' peice of straight lumber and place it tightly against your track, with enough sticking out front to reach the ski tips.
Turn your bars perfectly straight and use ratchet straps to hold them in place, from the bars to the rear bumper.
Measure distance from the inside of the peice of lumber to the center of the ski at the spindle and the ski tip. The distance should be 1/8" more at he ski tip and both skis should be the same.
Adjust toe in/out by loosening the jam nuts on the tie rods and turning the tie rods using a wrench on the indents.
