@Armchaircouch I'm not familiar with that particular vehicle, but if you have the tools (including jacks & jack-stands long enough for your truck), and the patience, it should be relatively painless.
Shocks sometimes put up a good fight coming off (I once watched a mechanic use a cutting torch to get the set off one of my old cars).
If you get that far and get stuck, then you can still take it to a shop at that point. (You can even drive it without shocks, briefly.)
Give it a shot!
This was the second reason I was hesitant, I’ve seen that happen to some friends working on similar parts, @sumpnlikefaith
