Installing Bilstein Leveling Struts....What tools are needed??

I ordered my Bilstein Leveling Struts for my 2006 F150 4x4.

Just wanted to know what tools are needed to install them and how much time am I looking at to do it if I have access to a lift? Is it pretty easy to do? I have lifted a few trucks before, mostly Superduties, so I know what I am doing. This will be my first F150 to lift though.

Also, if I can't get it aligned right away, is it ok to drive for a few days until I get it done, or will it be to bad out of alignment to do that? My tires are pretty much shot anyway, so tire wear is no big deal to me.

Thanks for the help,
Brent
