Shocks and brakes at the same time?

pull bolts, pull old shock, pump new shocks by hand a few cycles, replace shock, replace bolts. Only trouble you may have is stubborn bolts.

I drove the truck up onto the ramps, removed the top nuts, removed the bottom bolts and slid the old shocks out. Slid the new shocks in, re-installed the bottom bolts, put the new top nut on, cut the strap that compressed the shock and done. Same with the rears: up on the ramps, remove the spare tire, remove the top and bottom bolts and the shocks. Install the new shocks with the top bolt slightly loose, line up the bottom bolt and tighten it. Cut the strap and tighten the top bolts.

The front shocks took forty minutes or so and the rears probably an hour.
