Found this website with all kinds of brakes, and wanted to know how hard is it to install the big brake kits

"Big brakes" install just like small brakes, so in terms of physically putting them on, there's no difference at all.

The hard part is figuring out what brake setup would be best for your needs.
Brakes are unsprung weight, so you want the smallest brake package that can handle the heat load you anticipate.
You'll be getting bias adjustment, so there will be all that, as well as pad compounds, to dial in as well.

I would not expect a "bolt on/tootle away" outcome.

they are never simple or easy, and if not properly engineered you could end up with a system that is no better if not worse then stock
