They're not "struts".
You gonna swap springs, or do your new ones come with springs already? If
you're not swapping springs, the job is a piece of cake, and you don't even
need an alignment after.
I'd strongly recommend an electric impact gun (like a DeWalt DW293),
rentable for about $25 per day. Getting the lower bolts undone can be a
nightmare without the impact gun.
