Did mine a year ago so the memory is a little hazy.
Rear:
Only lift the car as high as you need to so your not fighting wheel and axle weight, and over extending brake lines.
Put the leaf in, connect the rear shackle, locate on the axle and let the car down slowly the leaf extends outward as it flattens and the front pin will line up, with a gentle pry downwards.
After the install, wind the brake load bias thing all the way up.
Front:
I used a ratchet strap to compress the strut enough to install. Don’t recommend it cos it’s dangerous, but don’t have any other suggestion either.
Check if both struts are the same length. Longer one generally on passenger side to account for LR tank and secondary battery. I don’t have either so put mine on drivers side as I’m 50% heavier than my co-pilot. Dunno if this is right but works for me.
General:
Don’t rush, take your time, stay safe.
Grease every bolt.
You’ll want a wheel alignment after a few hundred k’s. Try get some varied driving in there too to help things settle.
Retorque after 1000ks. Surprising how much you get from the U bolts.
I take photos like this to remember where bits came from:
Oh yeah and check your garage clearance before you install
