Not a have-to but a want-to. Took this week off, just finished up doing the drivers side of my truck, upper and lower controller arm bushings, upper and lower ball joints and sway bar link.  Tomorrow tackle the passenger side.   Never did anything like this before so I gave myself a week and then some. good thing too, all kinds of unknowns cropped up, but passenger side should go smoother.  Pep Boys wanted 2500+ to do the job, I'll have spent about $700, $350 of that was on tools that I will have a long long time.  Fun time
Since it was paid time off, I actually made more with PTO than what I spent total. so another plus
