Your biggest challenge with the front end stuff is going to be the front tension arm ball joints. They suck! Pre-soak them good, and be prepared to have the blue tipped wrench at the ready. It took me (don't laugh) 6 hours for the driver's side and 4 hours I think to get the passenger's side off. They like to literally freeze/weld/corrode themselves into the knuckle.

Other than that it's pretty straight forward stuff. Best of luck to you.
