how hard is it to do pads and rotors?

any special tools or tricks or just the usual 2 bolts for the calipers and 2 for the bracket ??

front and back?

I haven't done my back brakes, so I can't say if it is easy or not. Based on the front brakes ans what I have read elsewhere it shouldn't be too difficult - a standard changeout.

The front brakes are not difficult at all. Nothing special in the tool department. The hardest thing to deal with is the calipers were one design - Chrysler only made one caliper. By that I mean the left side is a mirror image of the right side. One pivots from the back bolt and the other side pivots from the front bolt. Remember to use lubricant where it slides on the caliper and also use the clips supplied with the pads. Torque to the proper specs and away you go. Break them in properly.
