I did it in 20 minutes in the parking lot.

Haha. i've asked around for that too. apparently the cheapest way to do this is to put it in as an "alignment checkup" with results = no alignment needed. here it costs roughly $2.50 for that. pretty cheap for a lifter use. :)

Alignment check will still cost money most shop's will charge half hr shop rate and believe me will find something wrong to justify alignment lol
It calls for about 30 min to install done the right way problem may be with the lower shock nuts depending on ur region... Heat may have to be applied to remove had to do that to my car cos of winter's here.
