Make sure your tie rod adjuster sleeves are not seized, same with the camber adjusters..
Get a good 6" long peice of 2x4 to jack under the UCA to keep it seperated from the upper balljoint.
A die-grinder works great for notching out the UCA.
Make sure your shocks will work!

I'll tell you tomorrow.
So far difficulty out of 5 (being the most difficult)
Compressing the suspension enough to jam the 2x4 in place: 2
Knocking out the stud on the BJs: 3 (torch and PB blaster needed on mine and 10min with a BFH)
Trimming the UCA: 1
Installing the spacers: 1
