I did mine the other day with no experience aswell it's pretty self explanatory when you take out the old kit. Just put it back in the way you took it out. Just be careful when taking the U bolts off that the diff is supported |

For a start what vehicle is this for? No point giving advice for a sierra if you own a jimny. |

Just support the axle at all times and make sure you grease up all the bushes. Make sure the u bolts are tight, you'll probably have to get a wheel alignment after, I had too |

Make sure you use proper jack stands, if it falls on you it will hurt. A lot.

You don't need to take the wheels off to change the springs and/or shocks. It is the rest of the car IE: The chassis, that will need supports (stands) under it. No wheel alignment is necessary. |

Manage to complete the front this afternoon . Got some issues putting the unbolts back to the plate but after mucking around for like an hour manage to get it in. Do you guys remove the sway bar ? Hopefully the rear will be easier ... |

Yes take the swaybar off. |

I put the ubolts in a vice to bend them in a bit so they drop right into the holes, which is a lot easier than trying to squeeze them in under the car. |

You might as well, all it does is restrict flex, it will handle fine with it off. |
