It's do-able with jack stands and so on in a drive way but if you can get it on a lift I would highly recommend it. I helped putting my CBE on at my buddies shop and it was a PITA even on a lift. A couple of the bolts coming off the cats were stuck and required some persuasion to get off. Also the rubber hangers can be difficult sometimes. Also checking clearances is easier on a lift. After a week or so my CBE had to be adjusted because it settled and started rattling on a cross brace.

I do agree with Tigger installing a CBE is one of the easier DIYs but stuck bolts can make it a PITA. Get/borrow an impact wrench and something to cut bolts. Stuck bolts coming off the cats is a normal issue. Also have extra bolts and seals just in case. Some CBE kits require you to use the stock bolts coming off the cats so if you have to cut a bolt it would be good idea to have extras.

FYI if you choose to not DIY it and take it some where it should only take a hour at the most but some places will quote 2 hours. Mine took 50 min even with stuck bolts at my buddies shop.
