Gary, you can do the rear yourself. It's really simple. Jack your car up, undo one of the bolts on your shocks, pull the old springs out and put the new springs in, reconnect your shocks. That's it.

True. You'll need a floor jack, jack stands, and hand tools. Put a piece of 2x6 under center of the beam rear axle, and floor jack under that. (2x6 is to distribute weight so not to bend axle). Jack it up so rear wheels come off ground. Put jack stands under jack points in front of rear wheels. Unbolt one end of rear shocks (I did the top). Lower floor jack. Spings will lift right off. Put in new springs. Raise floor jack 'till shocks line up & re-attach shocks. You can wait to cut bump stops because you can still get at 'em. I didn't cut mine.
