I would think you could pretty easily install the Road Armor kit part # LC696470 in under an hour assuming none of the suspension bolts too difficult. If you've never dealt with suspension hardware it's almost always challenging to remove due to corrosion that develops due to proximity of the hardware to the road. I would have some liquid wrench or WD40 ready and you should be good.
