    ah I can do the work, its just a matter of not wanting to do it. I've swapped out the trans, transfer case, rear end (put in explorer axle), and a few odds and ends on my 96 ford ranger so I can do the work. I just really don't want to anymore.

    When I pulled my stock downpipe, the front bolts were super easy.
    They came off from under the car with just a standard 1/2" drive ratchet no problem.
    The rear ones were a different story as they were rusted and stuck.
    I only did have the 1/2" drive ratchet but got them loose with that combined with a rubber mallet.
    If you have access to an impact gun then the whole swap should be a 15 minute job total (including jacking up the car).

    I would definitely pick up replacements for the rear studs and nuts beforehand though. You won't want to deal with re-threading the rusty old ones.
