No you should be able to change them in the driveway with no special tools other than a spring compressor. Which is for safety and makes it a little easier to swap. The only other major thing is the bolts, they may need some "help" getting loose. With the rust that I see on the shock, I would look at at getting new hardware(bolts, washers, etc) and bushings. That way when you do this you can replace the other stuff all at once and not have to worry about stuff. The only other advice I could give you is after you do the suspension stuff take the car and get it aligned. Yes you may get all the pieces back just like they were before, but you could knock something out just a hair that could eat your tires faster than before.
