The steering precision kit doesn't need a press, but the sub-frame will need to be lowered to access everything. Even easier than above, but takes more time.
How many shop hrs to install just the steering perciision kit? This will let everyone knows how time consuming and difficult this is . Especially if doing it in your home garage.

It takes 2-3 hours for me to do it using a lift. I usually increase that by 150%-200% when working on my back. It's virtually the "same" as a front sway bar install, so you may want to consider them both and/or do it with a clutch job once the transmission is out of the way.

That's odd. I've done the roll center correction kit on my car...and didn't need a press. Just normal hand tools and some suspension specific tools like ball joint separator tool. Impact wrench helps too!

The rear bump steer kit I'll need a press though...luckily I have one. Haven't been able to get around to that though.

The front ball joints are pressed out/in on all of the ones I've installed. If you can do that with hand tools, you won't need a press for the rear kit
