I've been looking around for a DIY on how to change the lifters but haven't found anything.

Like I said, the LS3 is no different than the previous renditions before it for how to remove the heads and change the lifters, etc.
I can't find a 'how to' guide for 5th gens, but their are PLENTY for 4th gens. So you can read one and skip all the 4th gen car specific stuff and read the parts about unbolting the heads and removing the plastic lifter trays etc that's what is relevant.

My personal opinion, if you can afford to due the lifters, do it. But at 85k id pull the cam inspect all the lobes for abnormal wear and pitting. If it looks MINT Id reuse the lifters, but thats just me.
