tips for replacing shocks

I am going to be replacing my shocks on my 2010 f350. Looks like a simple job. Do you guys have any tips on removing and installing the new ones?

Pretty simple. A pry bar is nice to get the upper mounts released on the rear shocks. I pull the inner fenders in the front cause it's easy to get the top mount nut off. But it can be done with a wrench too...
