Those are relatively easy jobs. Jack the entire car up and use 4-6 jack stands on the frame rails. Jack up the differential with a floor jack. Take the wheels off the back, and take out the front bolts on the leaf springs. You may have to cut them off because they tend to rust together with the spring. I used a reciprocating saw. The rear shackle bolts should be no problem. Replace the springs in reverse order, but don't tighten the rear shackle bolts completely until the car is on the ground.
For the shocks, just take off the top nut and lower the shocks by compressing them down to their lowest position, the take off the bottom nuts and lower it out.
