Its a pain in the a$$ job. If you feel up for it, do yourself, but you still need alignment afterwards. I did mine on a DA cause I didn't want to pay $300 on labor and it sucked. Its good to have another person there to help you maneuver the old rack out and to help you hold the new one up while you bolt it in place. Not an easy job though. If you wanna save money and have a whole day to spare and love cussing, go for it. I do it myself cause I don't trust shops.

I had my car on jack stands so I was on my back and had limited space, Its easier if you have a car lift like the shops. But for a home job, it sucks and is a pain in the a$$. But you save yourself about $300 on labor. Remember you'll still need an alignment though.

You haveto align your car afterwards, so I'd just take it to a shop, it's a pain in the ***...

Changing the rack is a annoying if you have a lift, I don't think I'd want to try it with just jack stands.

it's not that bad, i did it before in my driveway. you'll pretty much have to drop the subframe completely to have enough room to take the rack out.
