They are not hard to install at all.Just depends on how seized they will be in the sleeves,and with the bolts.I did mine with hand tools (well lubed chassis from oil spraying),two jack stands,and a jack pump.
Once the stang is on jack stands,pull the rear wheels off,undo the cat back,and let hang,take off the stabilizer bar,then pic what side to start first.Put the pump jack under the lower control arm near the axle,undo the nut/bolt there,slide the bolt out,and slowly lower the control arm due to the spring,then pull the spring out of the way,then undo the nut/bolt in the torque box,slide bolt out,the pull the arm out,then do the reverse to install,same goes for the other side once you are done with the first side. ;)
The thing that will make it hard is if the nuts/bolts are seized,or they are seized in the sleeves.Other then that,it's a piece of cake. 8-)

they are pretty easy to install. What kind are you going with? If you want some UPR's (which in my book are awsome), a friend of mine is the manager at the O'Reilly's in Dardanelle and he is now a certified UPR dealer so you could proboly buy them for pretty cheap. Im getting the tubular K member, tubular A arms, coilovers, caster camber plates, bumpsteer kit, Upper and lower control arms for the rear, and rear sway bar for $1,000 from him. He can get em cheap

if you still looking for some, I have a set of upper and lower bbk on my car. I think they were 299 from summit, id have to check. they less than a year old with less than 10k miles. I'd take $150 for it all and help you put them one. It's not much to them. Only reason I am taking them off is because they are non adjustable, and I am getting UPR adjustable.
