I got the WKOR sliders last month and just opened them up, I have the hardware but no instructions wrapped up in the cellophane. Looking at the U shaped bolts it seems pretty straightforward. Is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks!
 
Jack stands to hold up the sliders, tighten down the bolts a little bit. Use a rubber mallet to position them, the torque them down. After 500 miles slide underneath and re-torque.

Excellent instructions.
These 3 sentences + 1 picture of u-bolt set up is all the manufacturers need.

If still unsure, you can look over the instructions for Slee's which are pretty similar.

The front of my sliders installed too close to the pinch weld and rattled/vibrated, especially when hitting sharp, closely spaced bumps like washboard. I used a couple of pieces of Kydex behind the upper portion of the flanges at the front. I snugged up the bottom nut first, while holding the shims at the top and then tightened up the top nut. That gave just a little more clearance between the top of the slider main tube and the pinch weld.

I also used a form to put slight bends in the brake lines and sleeved them with split rubber tubing to prevent rubbing/chaffing against the ubolts.
