First time I've ever done it and I must say it wasn't too difficult. Maybe it's because I'm lucky and every bolt came off as it should. Of course you'll need the right tools. I'd recommend having some sort of impact gun, air or in my case a cordless. Does wonders with getting suspension bolts off. Just rent some spring compressors from AutoZone and have the usually hand tools and 2 floor jacks if possible. I used bills we space DIY instructions and they were dead one...PM me if you decide to do it and I'll share what I know. By no means an expert but could provide some help.
I appreciate the offer of help. I have to admit, I keep thinking of trying to tackle it. We'll see. Thanks again!

Salty
