Borrow a spring compressor from Auto Zone for the fronts, the rears unhook the LCA's and drop the axle

Call Robert or someone that has done them. The fronts can be a pita if the top nuts are rusted on and you don't know how to do them, and compressed they have a lot of potential energy..... I can do them if Robert can't, but then I am going to tell you to go see Robert for an alignement.

The rears are a driveway job. If you take out the whole
assembly on the front, any Tire Kingdom type shop can
swap them there and you put it back. I was quoted $50
for that kind of action some years back. I would not go
the spring compressor route myself, at that kind of price.
Though you'd need a ride there and back.

If you are doing shocks at the same time (you'd best)
then maybe you go to a junkyard and get the fronts
so you have all the odds and ends, get the swapped
front assemblies good-to-go ahead of time and then
the swap is easier (unit for unit).
