Did any of you really need an air wrench? I got everything but that. I did the rears fine.

x2. A big breaker bar should do the trick

No power tools here, make sure to at least have a breaker bar, and obviously a torque wrench to tighten things to spec.

You might also want to have one of those nut breaker sprays or whatever. Those always help.

When I was swapping my front springs, I ran into hell when trying to loose up some nuts with a long breaker bar. It can be done, but it's a PITA, so I'd recommend air tools if you can get your hands on them.

I know all about that. I installed my lowering kits/lift kits and lowering kit again on the same truck haha. What a pain but it gets the job done.
