Some time back I had the rear suspension out of my car to have the drain plug repaired. I used a transmission jack to support it when it came out and went back in. A floor jack will work as well but just not as stable. I think I paid about $50 for the trans jack at Harbor Freight but, again, it was quite a while ago.
On the plus side ERA does a super job on engineering and fitment so you won't have to worry about things lining up. Put the part in place and drop the bolt in. If it needs a stover nut it's already welded in. Doesn't need any shimming or adjustment of the mounting points. They're just where they need to be. No surprises.
You might want to pick up a tapered punch to use as an alignment aid when putting the components in. I find one long and one short help a lot.
