Response:

How difficult is it ? Do I need to have the truck on a lift? Do I need any surprise special ford tools I have a floor jack, ramps and Jack stands as well as a decent tool set. Also what shocks do you recommend I’m sorry I know this must have been covered more than a few times in this group TIA Kirk

Response:

You don’t need any special Ford tools, you should be able to do it with what you have. I just used a floor jack and hand tools when I replaced the shocks on my ‘96, I went with Bilsteins. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >How difficult is it ?

Did mine up on jackstands.  No problems. One thing I found exceedingly helpful was my electric impact for the front top bolts.  Those suckers are usually stuck tight, and are so long.  Put the impact on it and they came off like a dream. Hope you have long skinny arms to get the new top bushing, washers and nut on the passenger side.  Mine was really a tight place to work. Dave
