Default Front bushing kit install

How many hours to do the swap on the fronts? I have the backs done and that took about 4 hours.

Those two responses should tell you Rich. The fronts are not fun, especially if you did the "full" kit.

From what I've heard, set aside a weekend for the complete job.

The back is much easier than front. I did whole car using just a drill and a bench vise to remove and install the bushings. I polished the suspension pieces while they were off so mine took longer. If it took you 4 hours for rear then maybe 6 at the most for front. Bottom piece is very easy but top piece is harder do to the order of installing the pieces.
