Default not very hard from 1 to 10 i would say 2-3 ..

certain spots are not easy to access ..that was my case , but no problems at all.
oh make sure you also get new sway bar links . because the hex nut will turn on you and go bad.
so either get them from ECS or get the CPP , i got the CPP's since AWE is near me and had them in stock.

Default Get the swaybar!! If you don't want to get new swaybar links (save $), try this......

Bust off the OEM nut, don't try to unthread it. A dremel or nut breaker should do the job. Clean up the threads with a wire brush. The new nut (included with kit) goes on easily enough to not strip the hex.

I have one with stock suspension (stiff setting) and it is awesome. JasonS4 put one on his car with H&R's and commented that is was better handling improvement than the suspension. Not bad for $200.

On a lift, if you know what you are doing, under an hour for the install. Figure 2 if you never done it.

Default another thing that would make it easy is to take the entire asembly out

swaybar and links and soak it well in WD40 to take the nuts off easier..

I agree, but then you need to pull the wheels off. Very easy with air tools.
