Default sways install & other Q's

I was planning on getting the hotchkis sways but I hear the front is a PITA to install. I haven't had any experience installing anything under the car yet, so I was curious what places actually install the sways. From what I read on here, I could probably do the rear sway myself, but I don't have any jacks or stands, but I should have the necessary tools.
So my questions are thus:
Which jacks/stands would I need to do such an install, how much would they be, and where would I get them? (I'm on the northwest side of chicago)
Where would I get the front installed and for approximately how much?
For street driving would it just be better to get a rear only (like TRD) instead of trying the hotchkis pair? (I mainly want to reduce bodyroll when I turn. I kind of have a habit of turning at fairly high speeds.)

Ya it is a PITA! just go to the dealer. But check around one dealer told me 300 to do the front then one told me 130 to do the front. So i just did it my damn self, but if you are a new to this stuff then just let the dealer do it. You will need to drop the a frame to get the bar in. plus a lift will work better then jack stands.
