leaf springs

hey guys, i was wondering how hard is it to swap out my set of leaf springs (both sides) for another used set off another toyota, the exact same leafs, just to swap them, im an amature mechanic(on vehicles). but i can also get help if needed, but my rear end is starting to sag, more so on the passenger side, so i want to change both sides, so how hard/time consuming would it be, the sag pisses me off cuz it looks like . thanks

yep. pretty much what DeathCougar said.

I recommend new u-bolts on the axle though.

Yep, super simple. 7 bolts per side essentially. Just need to jack the frame and its straight forward.
The problem I had when doing mine was that everything was rusted so I had to cut everything off with a grinder and buy new shackles. If your stuff isn't rusted it shouldn't be a problem.
