Even with a lift it's a PITA....>
To drop the subframe enough you must unbolt the steering rack from it. When we did Han's we ended up just cutting the OEM DP, but even that was a pain as it's stainless. It's doable at home, but I wouldn't put it in my top 10 favorite jobs...
I'd much rather do a complete suspension swap than ever do one of these again..

I listen to Schwing attentively......
If he says it's a PITA even WITH a lift, I ain't doing it (no lift here). I just went by a custom exhaust shop and they will do it for me once I get the 42DD kit in. They charge $60/hr and if they take 4 hours it's worth it to me. They're also replacing the dog-gone [sic] mounts while they're at it.
