Took myself and another guy about 3 hours to put mine on. We had trouble with the front lower shock bolts because I replaced my shocks. But yea that is about it.

Yes but no haha. He has a spring compressor so he did not need to disconcert anything just compress the spring past the bump stop and put the spacer in. The rear is way easy but the front sucks! The rear can be done in 20 mins. You can rent a spring compressor from autozone for $50 and return it to get the $50 back so it ends up being free.
