it doesn't even jack up evenly, so i doubt its faster.
well, when i did it, i found it easiest to have to jacks underneath the axles for bigger droop. when i adjusted my track bar, the holes did not line up, so i couldn't have put something under the diff to get the holes lined up.
for the holes on the trackbar to line up with the frame mount, one side of the axle, depending on if i had to extend the trackbar or retrack they easiest way was doing it with two jacks underneath both axles.

Is this the track bar you guys are talking about ?

Is there any tricks to installing a new track bar or is it something a shop should do ?
Im no mechanic but I can mess with small stuff
I should also mention that I never had DW until after I replaced the shocks, I dont know if that would matter though

Also, you'll most likely need to center your steering wheel after you install it if you still have the stock track bar without a relocation bracket. That's no big deal either. It takes a 15mm wrench and about 10 mins of your time.
Here's instructions on how to center your steering wheel. There's also a section on centering the axle when installing an aftermarket track bar in the same article.

The easy way to do the trackbar with no jacks and with the tires on the ground is to have a helper turn the steering either right or left until the holes line up.
Because the resistance to the steering system is when it pushes or pulls against the trackbar, this method is the easiest and makes changing out or adjusting the front trackbar a 15 minute job.
For the rear, the 15 minute approach to the job is to use a ratchet strap between the frame on one side and the lower shock mount or an axle bracket on the other side.
