Before you take your old ones off, measure between the bolt centres of the TREs, then assemble your new one on the bench, adjusting til approx the same length. Then you can remove the old one and replace with the new one without jacking up / removing wheels or anything.
Once you've done both sides you can run the truck back and forth 10 yards or so, and use the 'measure between the front and rear edges of the wheel rims' method to roughly align before driving to the alignment place for fine tuning.
As I think I stated before the yap lost it, it IS technically easy, and well within the capability of a confident and careful DIYer, but there are people I know who I'd recommend they took it to a garage to have it done!
