Changing spark plugs

Does anyone know of a easy way to change the plugs on the pass side where all the crap is in the way. The driver side is easy, but there is no way for me to get my hand in that area. I don't want to take it to ford, or a shop, I would like to do it on my own. Thanks

that seems like it will work, just have to take the flap of rubber or whatever it is off, and maybe the tire. limited space, but workable. Thanks

I think I'm just going to take it to Ford, or a local shop and let them do it. It would be a all day project for me, and don't have much time. As for the badge, I got it off ebay, and the seat covers were from http://www.autoseats.com/js2.htm I was a lil over one-hundred bucks, but I like them.

How many miles do you have on your truck?? The OEM plugs are
supposed to last 100K miles, but it is probably a good idea to
pull them about every 40K miles (using antiseize, and dielectric
grease) when you re-install them, make sure you keep the same
plugs in each bank.
