The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-522115-5 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2019 Kia Soul with the manual transmission, can be installed by anyone that has a bit of mechanical experience. It doesn't require any vehicle modification or welding. My best recommendation is to simply take a look at the attached installation instructions to see if it is something you feel comfortable doing.

I did also call my contact at Roadmaster about this particular kit and she said that you can expect total installation time of around 2-1/2 hours.
