it shouldn't be real bad just be careful with the spring. besides doing the bjs it just three move things to take off shock them c-arm bolts....use a jack to support the c-arm when taking out the shock with slowly let it down the spring still has presure on it.

heres a diy i did on the bjs https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...placement.html

good luck with the project...hope i help sum

Control arm is pretty easy, Ball joints will take a little more time but not hard IIRC (only done one 2wd). Good to do it all at once I suppose.
