Took me about 4 or 5 hours of actual replacement work. Doing all the prep work before hand, like getting fasteners loosened and getting the body mount bolts replaced before hand made a huge difference.

You can see in the comparison pics of the old and new parts that 75 percent of the original support channel is completely missing.
