Yes, an impact gun and a large pipe wrench served absolutely crucial.
Good luck man.

It's possible to do it without an impact, but it is nice to have. I used a 3.5 foot long pipe wrench (oil rig wrench) on the C nuts.

Nice, the set I got new did not have boots nor bump stops so it is taking me a while to getting mine on

They are such a nice improvement. A spring compressor of good quality is probably a good idea as well.

Yeah impact is nice. I was changing out the rear shocks on my 90 the other day and i probably couldnt have done the job without an impact even though mine is electric. On one of the nuts I had to take out the whole top shock bolt out of the car and bring it over to a friends house with his air impact in order to get it off.
