i dont have all your answers, but i know you will need a 30mm socket for the bottom front shock bolt and it torques to 120 ft pounds. when I put on a level kit those were they specs that came with the instructions. a Haynes or Chilton manual will have everything your looking for though

Not sure about torque specs but the rears are easy. You dont need to even take the wheel off. Just 2 bolts. Easy 15 minutes.
The fronts are also fairly easy. In a nutshell. You will need to remove the upper ball joint (and tie the knuckle out of the way), 3 upper shock mount nuts, lower shock bolt, and let the suspension drop so you can slide the shock/coil out. Then, when I did it, I compressed the coil to make life easier, and unbolted the shock, then reinstall everything in reverse order.

Get yourself a haynes or chilton manual if you want step by step instructions...and if you're in need of instructions it would probably be best to get them that way in writing. Check your library if you don't want to buy one, most of them have them.

the coil will only go on one way.... the bolt pattern on the top mount is not evenly spaced, therefore must be aligned correctly, and the coil itself will only seat itself correctly to the mount one way. so no worries, you CANT put it on wrong !!!
