They are calling for -9* F here unless you have a nice heated garage it's not going to be a nice night to be out In the garage lol. To the OP depending on where you live if rust is a Factor that will be your biggest resistance. Soak them down Good a day or two before with your preferred penetrant. Them re-treat before you start. Your only worry should be what shocks do I buy! Mechanically you got this and we are here if you get stuck.

I drive 99% on-road and tow a camper. Anyone want to throw an opinion out there?

You torque the nuts till the rubber bushing just barely bulges outside the washers. Any more and you'll get pre-mature cracking of the bushing.
