I did mine myself. It's a bit of a struggle, but can be done.

I put the axle assembly on my floor jack, then used a ratchet strap to secure it to the pedestal of the jack. After that, just maneuver it in place and attach the control arms.

I was in a pinch and only help I needed was help putting it on the jack.My girl friend (105lb)helped me get it on the jack.Rest was a balancing game as I also used her a a counter weight

another ? when i pull the motor should i run the wire harness through the fire wall or wait till the 5.0 is in the notch

attach lowers first, then uppers, then springs, then shocks. its easy.

that's up to you.I ran mine though firewall motor not in car yet.I actually pulled all unnecessary wiring out of harness and it went from wrestling a python under the dash to no bigger then a sharpy marker..

Not that intelligent, it slipped off the jack about 2 times before I finally figured out the strap idea.
