Yes and no on the specail tools. For the shocks go rent the spring compressor for the day at advance or auto zone. And have a big hammer, PB and a big breaker bar to get some of the the bolts loose on the shock mounts. With all the heat from the breaks and the years of salt and road slime they will be hard to break loose. Thats why I recommend getting new hardware. That way you won't have as much trouble if you have to do things again. Now if money and time permit I would change the bushings. Because if you pull the shocks and spindle you already have done the hard stuff to change the bushings in the control arms and the dog bones in the front. The control arms might need a press to get them back in but I havent done them myself yet so I dont know for sure. So first just worry about getting those shocks changed out then onto the bushings and other bits on the front end.
