I would say, if you started right after you posted your message, you should be almost done by now. Its only four bolts, two for your UCA'S, and two for your LCA's, two shock bolts, and don't forget your brake line. I would say about a couple of hours if most of the bolts are rusted on. I am getting ready to do the same job myself. Have fun!

Take how long you expect it to take, and double that. Im about to pull out my rear and it took me like 3 hours just to get the bolts off the 8.8 that wasnt even in the car (torched off control arms).

Rear ends? And I don't mean the pretty kind.
