Driveshaft Help

I've got a new solid aluminum driveshaft sitting in the garage. I'm curious if anyone has put in a driveshaft on a 2013 GT? I've read a couple instructions from different sites and it does not seem too difficult. I'm assuming the bolts for the shaft need a certain torque...not sure how much.... basically im asking for an instruction guide, tools needed, and amount of time taken. Ive also heard if the car is lowered, ill have to re locate a brake line?

help me out!!

p.s. i have some driveshaft safety loops on order from BMR.

Since someone will say this I might as well be first, if you search for it you'll find write up's most likely. However that being said you'll need jack stands that go up fairly high so you can crawl under the car, you'll also need whatever size socket/torqs bit for the bolts. They are probably 26 ft/lbs or so, at least that's what they are on the old 8.8 rears. And as far as relocating brake lines, your probably referring to if you change to none stock LCA's you will have to zip tie or run the parking brake cable a little differently.
