All you need are simple hand tools such as a ratchet and metric sockets, probably anywhere from 10-19mm. But you WILL need to rent/buy a spring compressor from autozone. It's pretty straight forward, and simple to figure out. It is time consuming though, will take you a few hours. I'm sure you can find a write up of it somewhere online...

I would recommend installing new shocks at the same time just because....
