its a good first project, how much are you lowering it? Also suggested , would be someone with some mechanical knowledge (and tools helps!). I think you could pull it off ! Good luck

The rear is really easy and the front isn't hard but it can be dangerous. Springs can kill people. Just remember to treat it as a loaded gun that you must unload before opening. EI: take the tension off using a spring compressor which can be found in the Loan-a-tool section at autozone.
Keep in mind you might what to replace the struts and shocks at this point and a wheel alignment will be neccessary.
