I did mine on my 1999 Mountaineer a couple of months ago and here are a couple of things I did to make it easier:
on the front I took off the little wheel well skirt held in by plastic pins which gave me easier access.
also on the front I used a saws all to cut the top bolts on the shocks - made quick work of it
On the rear I took the spare tire off to get to the top bolts.
Also on the driver's rear I dropped the fuel evaporator box (or whatever its called) down and it gave me easy access to the top bolts as well.

Bass, what brand shocks are you going with?
I have Ranchos on my 2000 Sport now, but thinking about a set
of Monroe Reflexes next.......?
The hardest part of changing mine was getting the top nut off the front
shocks. It tends to spin. I finally cut it off like BJ did, using a Dremel and hammer/chisel.
