Oh and bye the way, I also had a problem with the clamps that were provided; took forever to screw around with them to get a seal. Looking back - best idea, go buy some decent clamps.

Definitely do-able by yourself if your any way mechanically inclined. If you have a second hand to assist, it would be a plus. I did mine without raising the car, but can see where raising the rear a few inches would have helped, some. IMO GearWrenches (ratcheting combination wrenches) are a must. There are some tight quarters where you need to remove the mounting brackets. Take your time, make sure everything is tight, adjust the tips (you may have to tweak the rods on the muffler that go into the mounting bracket) for fitment around the bumper and your good to go.

the time i jacked up the rear to install them, my neck hurt all day.

it's actually easier for me to just get under the car and swap em without raising it.

I installed my FRPP Stingers myself, and it wasnt that difficult. I did jack the car up and put it on some jack stands.The only thing that was a pain in the @$$ was getting the tips lined up like i wanted them. But even with that it still only took me about an hour or so.
