We, me and {Skunk Lips} did this on my wife's 84 300d a couple weeks ago. Took about one and a half hours.
Great write up above. Just one addition. On the rear before you remove shock, jack up support to take tension off the brake line other wise you will snap it.
Oh yes we used HD all around. Love it. Takes speed bumps at 30 mph and doesn't bother you.
