I just got some upper and lowers and was wondering if it would easy to do with some jackstands and a jack in my driveway, or would it be better to take it to someone that has a lift and pay them to do it?

I am not sure what all goes into putting these on any suggestion would help.

Thanks Garrett

I took my whole rear end out with jacks and jack stands. Its work, but its not horrible.

If I were you Id do them one at a time. Dont take them all off and then put the new ones on.

provided the bolts aren't rusted solid, it's pretty easy...very simple.

I used 4 jack stands and a roll jack to do mine. I did mine in the garage but basicly...the same thing as the driveway just coverd'.

Just do one side at a time.
