If they are complete there is nothing to it really. Just take time. The rears are REALLY easy. Two nuts on top and the bolts on the bottom A arm and they just fall out.

I was tentative about doing the rear one but got a set of stockers for cheap and after getting into it there was nothing to it.

The front if I'm not mistaking aren't much tougher. The bolt in the bottom though has to do with your camber so make sure you put it in the same way it came out. Other than that it's straight forward.

After you put them on you need an alignment!!!!!! If you cant afford an install, then you probably cant afford an alignment. Do NOT put them on if you arent going to do that.

Only one place I go to. Muellerized . ~$100

I put my bilsteins on and then had the stage 1 done to it by muellerized. If you can pop for that you will have the best stock type setup and thats ~$550 which includes the alignment, rear sway bar, bushings and install.

I would just wait, so you can put some springs on the Blisteins. Install took me about 2h, but I did it at work with a lift.
