with no experience itl take 2-5 hrs taking your time + clean up. Your best bet if would be to look at the DIY section and search it. i followed it step by step and its an awesome right up. after reading the DIY feel free to ask me any questions you have.

well just 2 jack stands 1 jack, ratchet with matching sockets + springs /shocks should be your only expenses. the spring compressor can be rented from autozone no need for air compressor

Doing it w/ out air tools is like mowing your lawn with a pair of scissors....so not efficient and painful.

You will also need a large chisel to get the front struts out of their clamps. You will also need some large sockets, can't remember all of the ones off the top of my head but I think 17/19/21? Probably a set of wrenches too.
