It's really not that hard, but takes up some time. You'll need a lift or stands and a floor jack. I took my time and did it in 5 hours, but I went really slow. I recommend doing one arm at a time starting with the uppers. The lowers can suck due to the forward mount bolt. Tricky if you don't remove/loosen the cat back.
All in all, it was not too bad, but I did have a lift. Definitely worth the effort.

Me any my buddy put mine on in about 2 hours and thats with my driving around in between messin around. No lift, but we had 3 jacks. u will need 2 to do it on the garage floor. I only did lower so u should do uppers first most likely. Its pretty straightforward, the tricky part is u need to put a jack under the diff (NOT the round part!!!!, up on the flat spot towards the driveshaft). you will have to jack it up to tilt it a bit to enable you to get the control arms front bolts back in. I didnt see why until I did the install and then It was obvious what we had to do haha.
