Finally found the time to install these:

Didn't have to remove the swingarm but it does require a jack and two jack stands. They also arrive without instructions.
That said, the end result is fantastic! Yes, the $1300 Ohlins works just as well with better damping too but for me, my shock performs well for how I ride. It was the lack of ground clearance that I took issue with. I was always touching either footpeg or the exhaust down when riding. Even moreso when carrying a passenger.
After installation, I settled on +10mm increase in rear ride height and just like most Ducatis, the bike's turn in response is greatly improved! I should have done this years ago!
