Simple. Both sides, once you know what youre doing, should take 30-45 minutes.

You'll have to remove the trunk liner on both sides (careful!) to access the top nuts.

Obviously have the rear up on jack stands, remove wheels, remove shocks from control arms, remove top nuts, install is reverse. Simple.

Just to be clear on the jack stands. Put the jack stands on the frame rail (I believe there's a square area before the axle housing where you can place the jack stands) and use the jack to support the rear end.
