Any good tips on doing this myself, jack stands only?
If there's a thread on this already I'll delete. Couldn't find one but I'm sure there is.

Shoot all bolts with some WD40 the night before to help loosen them up (as well as the pipe slip points).

Also, drop your rear swaybar to help with getting the old out, and the new in.

Make sure you are using quality stands on a solid, hard surface. Jack stands make me nervous, so please be safe!

I solved the problem!
Corvettes of Houston
Called Chris up there and he said $127.00, for that kind of dough I couldn't say no. It was half the price of England Green ($250.00) Really like the EG guys but moneys money.
