Just done mine. Not to bad at all. Depends on how much rust you have! Can of PB Blaster, propane torch (for the frozen bolts if any)
I did have to use a pretty cheap spring compressor to get mine in with the 1" spacers. But you can also have someone use a prybar between the frame and rear tire to give ya that little extra room.
At home, a set of tall jack stands and a pump jack. put the rear up on the stands On the frame under the back doors. Jack up the axle to take the pressure off the shocks. The Strutmaster kit has great instructions included.
See the "Cant find Springs" post for some more info. Just make sure you get the right springs and shocks. 4wd and 2wd are not the same. At least get the 1" spacers for the rear.
The front shocks are pretty easy.
