Doing that swap should be all of a 2 hr job, ok, maybe a little longer.

But it should be a very easy swap, as all you have to remove are the 3 nuts at
the top of each strut, (all 4 struts), and the 2 bolts at the bottom.

When you put them back in, just line up the nuts with the old marks from where
they used to be, this will make sure your caster and camber is about the
same.

When you install the bolts in the bottom, either push in on the strut or jack
up the spindle, just a little.  This will give you the most camber you can get
out of the stock stuff and be pretty equal on both sides.

After you tighten everything up, you should do an alignment, as any change in
camber will create a change in the TOE.  Caster, I don't think you really need
to worry about.
