Dan is right about everything except this-if it's a Jag. You can have ERA install the Jag into the cradle as a unit or do it yourself. If you do it, it's straight assembly of the ham and arms paying attention to shimming at the top. Then two bolts in bushings at the top and the forward pivots of the trailing arms and it's in. Slide under the car with your floor jack and jack up into place. Mine was out twice easily and here it is after complete disassembly for powder coating and reassembly. Came out again later for ventilated rotors and pin drive hubs. If I could do it alone so can you.
Never did the ERA rear assembly so can't say but a friend did and I don't remember him having any major issues getting it in place.
