Get the needed tools and do it yourself. It teaches you a lot about your vehicle.

DIY. you can rent stuff you dont have like spring compressors, etc from autozone. If you need to buy a jack/tools hit harbor freight.

If you have someplace to do the work, the tools to do the work with, and someone with you that knows what they are doing, there is no reason in a weekend you can't do this. It isn't real hard, but it does require attention to details. GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME THAN YOU THINK TO DO THIS!!!!
