Yes, a press is needed to remove the old joints and get the Whiteline roll-center kit pushed in. You'll have to take care as the arms are aluminum and can be damaged much easier than steel. Overall, the job isn't too difficult, just time consuming.
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.

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.

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.

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!
