You may very well not be able to do this job unless you have a lift. You're going to have to remove the lines that hide up on top and under other crossing lines. Plus the bolts that actually mount the rack are about an inch in diameter if not more and they are fine thread. I think it would be to your best advantage to have this done at a shop by a proffesional. It will save you a lot of grey hairs in the future.

Testimonial: "i know its hard! i just need to know if i can remove frame crash support without any problems."

Had similar problem with 2003 Dodge GC. Replaced the parts you mention + rack & pinion, then to fix the now noticable whining noise, replaced power steering pump and pulley. Fortunately was under an extended warrentee at 46k miles.
