So I installed the ranchos today everything went very well until I hit the bolt holding in the lower fork from the strut, problem was that it was stuck in the bushing so I had to heat it to get it out. The only other problem I had was when I was taking the spring of the passenger side strut the top bolt was seized so I had to torch it off. So overall it took like two hours for the first strut and 1.5 hours for the second.
As for the rear shocks 45 minutes and they were both done no problems at all. It took me the most time to put the shock boots on.
Overall the whole experience was a lot better and easier than I expected. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

I already have the nightshade but I want to color match around the bake/signals and reverse light and then nightshade the rest. Like how you did yours. What type of paint did you use?
