It's not hard for the mechanically experienced, but requires a good selection of tools, jack stands, and a spring compresser. DIYs are a help, though best to follow the procedure in the factory service manual. 1 hr/spring? Not for a novice. Spring swapping is also something that can send you to the hospital if you mess up.

Make sure he knows to load the suspension before tightening the A-arm bolts. Otherwise the bushings tend to get locked in the "wheel down" position and you won't get the proper drop.
