Steve, we (my sons and I) did mine last week. We put on the SensaTracs because I didn't want a harsh ride. My son has 5000's on his Dak and it's a much stiffer ride.

Anyway, you'll need  a jack and jack-stands, 15mm, 18mm, and 5/8" sockets, as well as a smaller socket (can't remember) for the top of the fronts. You're going to need either deep sockets or open end wrenches for the tops of both front and back.

Torque wrench and thread lock is also recommended. It took quite a bit to go from 60 ft-lbs to 70 ft-lbs while we compressed the bushings, so don't trust your judgement.

Other than plugs, this was the first "maintenance" item I had done on the truck, and it worked out OK. Sears wanted $12.99/shock for install, so I saved over $50 too.
