Not shocks.. but pretty much the same thing, you just have to put the shock and the spring together.

To be honest, I didn't have a torque wrench when I did mine.. So I can't tell you.

I didn't need one. I just used normal ratchets and it worked out fine for me.

Yes, it will make the job much easier. I would recommend spraying some on the bolts the night before to let it sit and then spray some more before you start. It's not worth stripping the head off the bolt to your rear lower control arm just because you didn't want to spend a couple bucks on some PB blaster.

I've definately mangled the bolts (broken them, snapped in half, sheared inside the subframe, etc.) because of mileage and a lack of proper preparation. PB blast it and have air on hand

Yeah you gotta be careful, I broke a bolt on my rear Driver side. Tapped it too hard. spray something on it to make it easier and less likely to break
